Hi Everyone,
I wanted to let you know that Marshall is 10 months since amputation and 11 since his symptoms started. His lungs were clear as of 2 weeks ago when he was in for pancreatitis. He has made a recovery from Pancreatitis and continues to be our miracle dog. Hope everyone is well. We haven't forgotten about you all but we have been focusing on Marshall and living in the moment with him and not focusing on his diagnosis. He is still under the care of Dr. Loops.

I am so happy for you and Marshall, things seem to be going very well..... I think about him from time to time and was wondering how he was doing, so thank you for giving us an update. 

So glad he got through pancreatitis, that can be very nasty in our pups......and you are right, spend each and every day in the moments with him, and enjoy every second of it. 

Happy 10 months, handsome Marshall, may you have many, many more happy, healthy days ahead.

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Glad to hear Marshall is doing well, and that you are living in the moment with him.  Here's to many, many more months for your boy.
