Hi all,

Tomorrow marks our 6 week anniversary of Gus officially joining the world of tripawds!  He is doing so great!  Here is a video of him playing with his "little" brother Guinness (8 month old dane, 115 lbs!)

 

We have had 2 rounds of chemo and no side effects!  No traces of any mets either!

 

We are enjoying every day with him!

Thanks for all the support!

Liz and Gus

What a pair of fierce beasts!! laugh  Gus looks great, and has no trouble keeping up with little brother.  Good to hear he is handling chemo OK too.

Oh- and around here we call them ampuversaries!  The importance is two fold- on is of course to recognize the progress of our tripawds, the other is so we can hand out TREATS!!!!  Burgers, fries, bacon, ice cream, flying dutchmen, green beans…. what ever works.

Gus looks fantastic - and Guinness has obviously decided the recovery period is over!   We just did a round of chemo for a different cancer (not osteosarcoma), and had zero side effects.  It was probably a different drug, but its possible Gus will just cruise on through ...

Good luck!

That sounded like some serious growly play!  Had to cut the audio as my little one was barking! 

SO glad to hear Gus is doing well!  Keep it up!
