I'm so sorry I missed this post!
My heart goes out to you...but as you already know there are a lot of memories yet to made.
Sending my pawsitive thoughts too.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
We have a mole problem in our backyard and once Chloe spends more time out there (when I have class all day) I am sure we will find Chloe sized holes in place of the mole holes. She has caught opossums in the past, so I wouldn't put it past her for catching a mole sometime!
I think we have dogs with some hunting/hole digging genes in common and being tripawds hasn't slowed them down one bit!!! Glad you guys are enjoying your time together 🙂

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Just getting caught up from our mini-vacation. I cannot echo Elizabeth enough. As awesome as Trouble has done, Dr F will still periodically remind me that this is cancer - it often comes back in another form. I think he feels it is his duty to keep me living in reality.
And as others have pointed out, lung mets does typically give you a few more good months with treatment. Sending big hugs, and tons of good thoughts. It is an uncertain journey we are on, keep fighting - one day at a time.

Laura, sorry to hear the news about Tai's mets. There has already been a lot of great advice and wisdom here and I don't really have anything to add except my sincere pawsitive wishes. Just keep holding and loving that gorgeous happy girl.
