What a great day with friends. I did see that great jump and leap Eurydice did over the ditch. Fabulous. And then there's the photo with her ears in the air. She now flys?
Your Missy Cow will sleep well tonight.
Hugs and cuddles from my svelte Mona and my ever-growing Eli (my vet said he has the same problem as Eli at night, my vet heads to the fridge and Eli goes out for a rat).
Kerren 
Awwwww beauuuuuutiful! Magnifique!
There is something so universally understood about the language of dog people and their dogs. I listen to your conversations, watch the hoppy dances of all the pups, and even though I have NO idea what the humans are really saying, somehow it all makes sense. It's awesome!

Apparently Eurydice doesn't see what the big deal is about that stick! lol
And why should she sit for treats if she's going to get them for free? 
It looks like all of you had a lovely day together

Hey there Kerren, Jerry and Donna 💙💜💚
Eurydice here 🐮
Well, Kerren, when me and Mom's grandson were very, very young we watched Dumbo together and the truth is I've been practising ever since 🐎🐘🕊 but couldn't ever quite take off 🚀 but you know what?
Hope is the last thing to die (this is a Portuguese saying Mom repeats a lot) and Dumbo didn't fly immediately either ✈️🐘
Eli you are my hero 😺🏅 you get to chase your meals 🐭🐭🐭🐹🐹🐹
My meals, just like your vet's, are kept in the fridge except he can open the door and I can't and because we live in a big town I would have to use 🔭 to find a chicken 🐓
Jerry you are SO right 👌🏽👍🏼
All dog loving humans speak Dogish 🐩🐕 and that is how we all understand each other no matter where any of you two legged friends come from 🎎👲🏼👳🏼💂🏼🎅🏼👽🤖🐶
Donna you've got it ☝🏼️
I tried hard to come up with something really interesting to say about that stick but ... nope ... nada ... ziltz ... don't know what Honey's fuss was about 🤔🙄😐
I did sit in the end just to make Mom happy, she always gets so proud when I follow her commands 🏁
And now let me tell you about my day 🐸
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.

Or perhaps I should rephrase it to Mom's day ...
She did nothing for me (can't you see how disappointed I am?) it was all about her ...
I got up, went for a pee and poop, came back for my pills, ate, rested for a couple of hours ... up to here all normal.
And then we got in the car and I was really excited to find out where we were going and who we were meeting and you know what ?
She stops at her hairdresser (I remember the place from when we were living here) and even if everybody adores me and gives some tons of cuddles, all I can do is stay put for hoooooooooooours non end whilst she colours her hair ...
Luckily she doesn't do it very often and I secretly laugh every time because she always mentions to the girls how she should've come here a long time before etc etc etc
So, after a long long long time she was done and I thought
Right.
Now we're going somewhere exciting !
Well, I couldn't be more wrong.
She takes me to a meeting with her lawyer, her lawyer for heaven's sake !!!!
At this point boredom was not a strong enough word to describe how I felt ...
And by the time we were finished we came back home !!!!
So I said to Mom can you please at least forget my diet tonight, I just feel like a few more of my dry food bits ...

I don't think she is listening ...
I am getting to the sad conclusion she doesn't love me anymore ...

I am all comfy and snoring away and hope tomorrow we'll be having some adventures !
At least I know she won't be going to the hairdresser for a few months now

Tell your momma that Auntie Summer thinks you need a cheeseburger and maybe even a small scoop of ice cream because you are such a sweet girl and were patient while she did all her errands today 
Awe Eurydice, I just love you and your Mom. Mom should think about writing a novel. She certainly can keep us entertained. The two of you are very unique and pray that you will have many many more GREAT adventures together. Hugs all around. Deb and Angel Bandit.
Dearest Auntie Summer 💗
You always know what's best for me 😃 I so adore you 💝
YES, YES, YES, YES to cheeseburger 🍔 and ice cream 🍧
Can you please talk to Mom ???
Hey auntie Deb 💜
Me and Mom love you back 💘 and I can tell you Mom is having lots of fun recording our travels together 😄
I can hear her giggling and sometimes laughing out loud as she types away at night, it fills my heart with joy to hear her laughing 💞 we are both really happy bunnies 🐰🐰
All I want is to have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time with my Mom whom I adore and adores me exactly the same 🎯🏹💖
