Kenmore got those stitches out tonight! I am so happy! He was the center of attention in the vets-again. The Dr is very pleased- another Vet we havent seen before came to talk to us about how amazing Kenmore is. Then we stopped to see out favorite "aunt" and finally home to dinner. Kenmore did get some of his big cookie..right now he's all curled up-dreaming of his Thanksgiving camping trip. In 2 weeks we start a Neoplasene protocol. More things to learn but so many more days of puppy love.
take care & thank you,
mandy & Kenmore

As you start the Neosplasene protocol, we would love to hear more about it. Be sure to start a new topic so we can follow along OK?

Awesome Kenmore! Huge milestone and it only gets better from here. Top that off with a Thanksgiving camping trip and you are living the life! Can't wait to hear more about your trip and your continued recovery and treatment plan. You go Kenmore!!

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

We're home. Uneventful trip for us, yay! I was nervous whenever kenmoresdad picked him up & into or out of the truck. But Husband has been picking up Kenmore since day we brought him home- so Kenmore is ok with it. Kenmore did have a bit of a stumble on the wood around the site, but recovered with no big deal. Kenmore even accomplished cocking up his leg once or twice without tipping over! He did get tired quicker so we didnt take him too far from the campsite. He did meet some new people friends and barked at the other camping dogs.
thanks for all the warm thoughts- mandy & Kenmore
will try to get some pix & video posted from our trip

That's great Mandy! I'm so glad Kenmore is continuing to do well and that you guys had nice camping trip. I'm Looking forward to the pictures and video. Thanks for the update.

Pawesome news guys! I know, it's nervewracking trying to help a new Tripawd without worrying about injuring the incision area. But believe me, we're tougher than you think! Keep up the great work and let us know how it goes.
