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 now we're back home and I am investigating Romeu 😻 ...
... my brother-in-law is telling me to go easy on him as he is almost 18 years old and a little bit frail ...

Oh my, Paloma you are getting so big! I am just catching up with your story finally... I have been behind 
Great auntie Eurydice and mommy have chosen so many fun things for you, looks like a blast! I bet that princess thought you were just beautiful, isn't it amazing how many strings Eurydice can pull for you to see such special people.
You have been so good with your kitties, I am so proud of you! Do you think Eurydice could whisper in Izzy's ear that kitties are for loving, not for chasing??
Teresa, Paloma sure did look like she was taking off for flight 
She has so much fun running in the forest, and she is SO GOOD!!!
Love to all of you,
Jackie
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry 
... she is right, that baby Dane, I AM cute and fluffy 😻...
... but I much rather rest comfortably on top of my Daddy's legs than playing with energetic Paloma 🌀 ...

Whew, I'm exhausted watching you Paloma and your busy days. Thankfully it's time for a nap so your body can rest to help you grow.
It's amazing how quickly you learned to fly! But then you learned from the best, our Angel Eurydice. I now see how you need perfect ears like yours to help you with flight.
Although I love the all the photos I must admit my heart warms to see you with your new mom. Teresa looks so happy that Angel Eurydice found you. I must say Teresa looks perfect, as do you.
I think you, Woody and Pedro may need to cool it about her weight. She's quite lovely you know but if she feels she has a few extra grams it's because Angel Eurydice would drag her to the delicious French and Portuguese bakeries. I don't have any photos of it but here is evidence of another great dane deciding to go to a bakery: https://www.you.....4CnHrt18 This is a very distant cousin and as you see, danes are very strong. Enjoy your strength, agility and curiousity. Oh, the things you will learn...
Huge hugs,
Kerren and kitties Eli and Mona
Kerren!! 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣
And how about this Teresa??
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!
Hmmmm............another heart

OMG Kerren!! 🤣🤣🤣 I did not see that coming! I almost rolled off my chair! Sally, you found those beautiful hearts, probably made Eurydice find the biggest grin! Teresa, Paloma has got to be one of the most beautiful Danes I have ever seen. She is becoming a charming young lady, and her goofy endearing personality is starting to come out more and more. I adore the shots of her puppy naps, it is like getting my dose of adorable for the day

Sweet aunties Jackie, Kerren and Sally 💕💕💕
I am having SO much fun with my new Mom 💓everyday is really exciting, I go to sleep exhausted after all the activity and amazing new discoveries!
The Princess was so kind and beautiful and she prepared a feast for me and Angel Eurydice 🥓🥐🍤🍗🥪🍨🍧
Flying in the back of Angel Eurydice was something else, we jumped from cloud to cloud and laughed away ☁️☁️☁️➰➰🐮🐮💖
And, auntie Jackie, I did ask Angel Eurydice to go and meet Izzy and whisper in her ears how wonderful and cuddly cats are, let's hope Izzy listens 😉
Mom laughed out loud at our cousin and her poor Mom-come-superwoman without a cape, she said "this is exactly what is going to happen to me soon if we don't start dressage classes, baby Paloma, you are going to be really big!"
OK, auntie Kerren, we will try to cool it reg Mom's weight remarks but ... she needs to shape up if she is to keep up with me 😉
Auntie Sally, your eyes are as sharp as an eagle's 🦅!
Mom knows about my lovely, perfect heart on the back of my neck 💗(Angel Eurydice made sure I'd have one) but she did not spot the other heart in the sky!
I'm sure that was the work of my great-aunt 😉🐮🌟
LOVE YOU 💓💓💓

... oh-ow ...
... I wander if I am supposed to patrol the house too, thinks baby Paloma ...
... does she not get it, thinks Gaspar, dogs are supposed to patrol the house, not cats ...
... I am only doing it because NOBODY else is up for it 😾...
