YEY! 5 months and we're still hoppin', fetchin', talkin', and waggin' up a storm! He's FABULOUS! Oh, and we got the call from his regular vet that the dewormer worked - no more roundworms. Novartis paid for the whole thing, too. Good poops make us happy around here, huh? To celebrate good poos and 5 MONTHS OF HOPPING AROUND, he had a tasty dinner, topped with some BBQ'd chicken and steak tips. Mmmmmm. Take THAT cancer.

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!
Yay Jackson. Keep going boy. Hard to believe its been 5 months already. Time flies when we are kicking the Ugly "C" butt. I am glad your mommy gave you some wonderful treats. Now tell her to let you go chase squirrels gophers etc.

Here are some more pics of my boy! He's such a goof. LOVE his perpetually wagging tail. BTW - he gets SUPER excited when the camera comes out. He must get excited to share his loved life with the world...or at least whoever is on the other side of the camera. What a guy! Here's Jackson!

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.
What a cutie! Happy Ampuversary, Jackson!

Yay, Jackson! Rock on you handsome pup! So happy to hear you are doing well!!! That is happy news indeed!
Oh yeah, he does, indeed, love the camera!! He really is posing.....giving the camera his different looks......smile showing the teeth....cocking his head giving the camera his serious side......what a photogenic guguy:-) Doesn't it make your heart just fill up with pride every time you see a photo of Jackson?? It's like this site makes him a ROCK STAR....and be is!!
Love, love, love his ears!! Talk about icing on the cake, they just make him even MORE adorable if possible:-)
Thanks Katy...yo are such a great partner for Jackson...he couldn't be anymore loved. His eyes really do sparkle with such joy and happiness. They really do:-)

Jackson, you are one handsome guy!! Congrats on a great 5 months!!! Keep waggin' that tail!!!
Awwww. Thanks, all. His silly face and expressions always make me laugh. Although after yesterday's sad news, I went over to him and cried in his face, then he licked my tears. This community is the most bipolar experience I've ever had. FANTASTIC news followed by heartbreak. So long as we all can find our happy place, that's what matters. For me, Jackson is part of my happy place. If he brought smiles to your face, too, then that makes me even more happy.
Keep on hopping, Tripawds.
