WHHHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!


 

Not really sure if there is anything that can better state our feeling on this ocassion. This is great news and a true song to our ears. We hope that the QUEEN will continue to push those life expectency numbers for the "November Five". Every time you and Trouble can celebrate, it lifts our hearts and should provide inspawration to the entire community. As Pat (Brody's mom) said, "Hang in there…whether it be days, weeks, months or years." Queen Nova is showing the way, even if she freightens the pudding out of mom.

Please take note of our earlier posting regarding what the chemotherapy may do to the immune system. Hopefully, we will get Pam (Tazzie) to comment on this. I always appreciate her viewpoint.

Seven days past the 16 month post-amp.  Perhaps this is just Nova's way of reminding you that you needed a 16 month PAWRTY? Regardless, we will be celebrating.

Love to all the family,

Spirit Cherry and Dad

You are right, Bob. I better go get Nova some beef trachea.  I have buffalo on her dinner menu tonight to help wash down the antibiotics.

Sue and Nova.  There is no one (except maybe you) as happy as I to hear it is a pesky infection.  Sue, I think you and I are both suffering from the longer we go cancer free, the more paranoid we become expecting something to go wrong.  We must learn to relax, like the dogs.

 

Woohoo, go Queen Nova!  Show us all how to do it!

RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul.  Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

We honor our fellow November Five members who will always remain forever in my heart

OH SUE!

Seriously the tears of joy are here, too!   I'm so happy!   Nova is a blessed dog, for sure!

Now go to Florida and enjoy the time you have with your mom and dad!  Celebrate all of your blessings in the sunshine;  acing your school tests, having a mom and dad that are alive and Nova only having a sinus infection!

 

Go Go Go Go!

She departed us unexpectedly  from bleeding internally on January 23, 2011
Comet came from a dog hoarder and was born with a deformed front leg. She was sassy and bossy but oh so much fun!  She lost her brother, Rugby in 2009 and got Monkeybutt, the king of Monkeydogs!  He was the most annoying dog ever to a tripawd!

I was at work yesterday when my wife read the news about Nova, so I found out via her text message.  I was incredibly relieved then, and after reading your post just now, I’m even more amazed.  The fact that this was a mere respiratory infection is already great news, but when combined with the fact that there’s still no sign of cancer after SIXTEEN MONTHS it's absolutely stunning! I hope you stuffed that dog chock full of buffalo last night, because she deserves it!  Speaking as proud parents of one of the November Five, Diane and I couldn’t be happier for you.  I don’t know how Nova managed to beat cancer so thoroughly so far, but there’s no doubt she’s an inspiration to everyone.

 

Who would have thought that a booger could be a sign of good news?
