Kami and Mackenzie,

Finaly home from our 2010 version of "June in Yellowstone" and am trying to play catch-up. While I may not have posted lately here for you, both of you have been in our thoughts and prayers. Reading all the excellent replies above, you have been in excellent hands.

You are doing great with both your attitude and approach. These definately are the days to pamper and make memories. Remember this is from one that had the most fickle of appetites to deal with. I was often told that Miss Cherry had to get back on a more balanced diet but frankly it was much more important to get her to eat - ANYTHING! Once we were past the chemical taste of the chemotherapy and she had a slight appetite, I found that hard cooked eggs were a healthy constant part of her diet. I would have liked to give her hamburger but the once that I tried, she presented it back to me an hour later. Moral of the story, try it and if it works, go with it. If it does not work, move on and try something else. I would build a very large menu of things that Mackenzie enjoys since we so very often seem to struggle with failing appetite near the end. Also, the Science Diet Hypoallergenic Treats have been another very positive. Cherry's breeder sent us some just as Cherry's appetite was returning and she loved them. Also, Magic also loved them when his appetite started to wane.

Above all, remember that we are here for any support that we can give.

Hugs, Pawsitive Thoughts, and Prayers
