Hi, Everyone-Good News! Happy's home today and doing well..He is very sleepy, but he hopped straight to me, hopped all the way to and into the car(with a little help) and hopped into the house..He looks good, where big ol' scars go, and is doing well..I'm so happy he's home and I can be with him now..He's having a little doggie dream right now, but has not made a peep otherwise.

He was mostly groggy and asleep in the car, but I caught him sitting up and smiling :)

Hooray! Have a great Christmas with your beautiful boy!

Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

Happy Christmas and happy homecoming!

I hope his recovery is smooth and uneventful. Don't be surprised if he has some down time in the next couple of days- it happens. Maybe he will be one of the lucky ones and sails right through!
