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 :-)
And here she is one month later 💞💞💞🐮💞💞💞

I have no words to describe how happy I am 😍
All I hear is Angel Eurydice's happy laugh morning to evening since Paloma came into our life, she is flying around us, zooming back and forth flapping her beautiful XXL silver wings 🕊💓
And she is laughing that happy laugh of hers again and again, my most adored Angel 💕🌟💕
She is deliriously happy with her new baby girl, sweet, goofy Paloma 💖
May Paloma live the longest of lives, may she be healthy on four legs and may she be the happiest dog ever existed 💓
Our travels start now, sweet girl, you're good to go with Mom, Angel Eurydice, Pedro the penguin and Woody the woodpecker in your loving company 👩🏼🕊🐧🐦🚙💨💨💨
Sending you all an avalanche of kisses and a tornado of slobbery kisses, kisses from the Angel variety and from the Mini Cow variety too 💓🐮🐮💓💕💕

Awww a super big congratulations on Paloma! We could smell the puppy breath from here! I have never seen a Great Dane so small!
What a special pup that Eurydice has picked out for you, I can tell she has lots of great adventures ahead. Lucky dawg!

Teresa!!! You sure know how to prolong the big reveal. I've been holding my breath, waiting, waiting for the surprise. I'm sure Angel Eurydice is very pleased presenting you with her great-niece Paloma. All of the pups are so beautiful. The video shows all of the dogs have sweet temperments.
I hope there are more photos of Paloma and her road trip home. What do Woody and Pedro think of this? Oh dear, puppies can be playful.... I hope they are still in one piece.
Love and hugs to you and Paloma and, of course, for our angels.

Sweet Rene and Kerren 🌻🌺
Angel Eurydice is thrilled you liked her surprise 😍
Hard to believe Danes can be this small but I can assure you these cuties grow at enormous speed 🌪🌪🌪
Yup, Angel Eurydice can hold a surprise for loooong ... but now Paloma is here ☺️
She took a shine on Pedro and Woody and, believe it or not, she gives them kisses and cuddles but has never tried to do anything frisky 😊
I suppose her great-aunt is not allowing it 🐮🤚🏽
Yes, there are photos and videos, everybody is so in love with Miss Mini Cow, she has the same effect on humans and animals as Angel Eurydice did when she was still with us 💓
I will publish some more and hope if at some point you’ve all had enough of our travels, you will let me know (otherwise this thread could go on forever ...)
Sending you girls a tornado of hugs and an avalanche of cuddles 😘🐮💫✨🌟💕

Many, many congratulations! She's SO beautiful. What gorgeous markings! And what a great life she has ahead of her. Angel Eurydice has chosen well. Gosh, she really is delectable, isn't she!

Miss Mini Cow
Congratulations!!! So happy for you Teresa!!!
How much does Paloma weigh? How much when she was born? I always find it amusing to see how old the big girls are when they pass my little pups in weight, and then pass my pack's weight, and then the spirit pack's weight
Can't wait for more pictures, videos and stories!

Darlings Sally, Clare and Karen 🌻🌸🌺
Thank you so much for your sweet words and for your huge welcome of Miss Mini Cow Paloma 💕🐮💕
I am sure Eurydice prepared her well, darling Sally, she surely mentioned the extensive traveling 😄 and all the rest, such as:
1. no point having any of the following happening in the car: peeing or pooping, drooling, barking, feeling car sick, moving around too much
2. Things to do whilst in the car: look out the window and watch the beautiful world go by, enjoy the scenery, the sunsets and sunrises, and enjoy your wonderful naps in the car’s comfy mattress being wonderfully rocked to sleep whilst listening to Mom’s music and her singing along at times
3. you can always expect regular toilet breaks (but if pressed to go, just bark) whenever Mom fills up the car or whenever Mom hits a spot which is too beautiful to be missed ... and then cuddle together for a while.
4. Enjoy all the new friends and old friends you meet on your travels, their cuddles, their sweet words and their treats
5. expect lots of excuses for pawties, celebrations and gatherings of humans and dogs plus yummy menus, Mom is a sucker for pawties with her babies and friends
6. be patient and learn to pose for pictures and videos, Mom never misses an opportunity to document your life
💓🐮🌟💓🐮💓
I also love her unusual markings darling Clare, a black profile and a white profile, quite original ☺️
Eurydice did chose well, she is a true bundle of joy, as sweet as honey and as crazy as a bat all rolled into one!
Her weight.
Well, darling Karen, as for her weight at this stage it increases daily (I’m not joking!)
I am not sure how much she weighed exactly when she was born (have to ask Marcos) but it should be around 700gr (1.5lb).
Eurydice weighed 750gr at birth.
At 3 months, when I picked her up she weighed 21 kg (46 lb) and now she weighs 37kg (81.5 lb).
And, just like Eurydice, she has Brigitte Bardot’s looooooooong legs 💃🏽
I cannot wait for you to see her growing during our travels and share her happiness with Angel Eurydice always by her side (and Pedro and Woody, of course!)
We are leaving tomorrow and there will be no WiFi connection for 10 days so I can only use my phone to post text messages ... but no uploading of photos or videos, it’s too hard without a computer ...
But once we’re back, our “official” adventures will start rolling in 🚙💨💨💨
SO happy to have you girls by our side 💞
Sending you a tornado of hugs, much love and cuddles galore 😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

My current pack, Obie and Elly, weigh a combined 32 lb (14.5 kg) and if I add in Maggie and Tani the total is 65 lb (29.5 kg).
Maggie was the only one I got as a youngster at 10 weeks and she weighed around 4.5 lbs (2 kg).

Oh boy.. already passed 80 pounds!! I am going to have to study up again on metric conversion.. I was never great in school but now I have a reason to want to remember it so maybe I will be successful
I hope you have a wonderful trip! I cannot wait to see pictures and hear the tales of you with your beautiful girl, and of course the handsome Woody and Pedro!!
Stay safe, love and hugs to all of you
