Yippee skippy, today is the J-man's 4 month ampuversary! My husband and I were away all weekend for a wedding, but we came home on his Big Day! It's great...I really have nothing to add. He's the same 'ol love, pain in the butt, playful, obstinate, extroverted pal we've always had and loved. He's the BEST! For him, the highlight was letting him bring in a tennis ball that'd been mowed over. He's been noshing and sucking on that gross thing for hours. When he finally passes out, I'll free it to the back yard, but for now - enjoy that ball, big guy. We love you! Keep it up, J-pod!

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!

Happy Ampuversary, Jackson
Keep kicking cancer's butt!! Enjoy that disgusting ball plus some belly rubs and scratchies.
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Thanks, everypawdy! It was a grand day!
