Bloodwork again today and it all looks good! Chemo round two next week!
Happy Bacon Face!
I do not want to go to the V-E-T, let me back in the house. *HMPH

Alrighty Astro, how can you keep getting cuter and cuter everyday? And let's add more and more handsome on top of that?
I think it's the BACON!!! It has to be the BACON!!! Who knew BACON is a "vitamin" supplement that enhances cuteness and good looks?!
Congrats on the good bloodwork! You keep rockin' this chemo stuff, okay?!
Thanks for making Wednesday a happy one indeed! 🙂 🙂 Never can get enough photos of your sweet self 🙂
Hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

🐮 Astro, you are the cutest and coolest Dane 😎 but I don't understand why you don't want to go to the vets 🤔 don't they give you loads of treats and cuddles like mine do 💕🍪💕🍪💕🍪💕
See?
One more reason to ask Mom to visit and we could pop'round to my vets and I'd show you the ropes 👌🏽
And after your chemo was over, I'd take you out and we'd paint the town red 🎭🎷🎺🎉
That'd be real fun 👍🏼🐸
Sending you an XL slobbery kiss and hugs to your Mom 👅🌊🌊🌊💦😍
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
Yay for good bloodwork! Good boy, Astro. And Mosby agrees that going to the vet is no fun (ok, except PT and acupuncture vets).

Astro, are you sure you aren't getting a face lift instead of chemo? I think you look younger with each photo!! Looooove these photos!
You are a bathing beauty, that's for sure!!
Here's to sailing through another round 🙂

Oh Astro you are a really gorgeous boy and sure enjoy life to the full 🎉😍👍🏼
Eurydice loved the pictures of you playing with your green toy and asked me to tell you she'd be soooooo happy to share her penguins with him 🐧🐧🐧
And Astro looks sooooooooo relaxed enjoying the sunshine ⛱
Love the delighted expression in his face and so cute to see his looooooong legs stretched Dane style 👌🏽
Delicious photos, Kat 📷 I so wish I could hug your boy through the screen 💕
And so great to hear he's sailing through chemo like a real champion 🏆
Keep up the good work Astro 👍🏼
Lots of slobbery kisses from your girlfriend miss cow and lots of hugs to your momma 😘😘😘💕💞🐮🐶💕
