Oh wow that is so cool! It's neat to see them swimming underwater. They even jumped on the platform and got out at the same time. What talent!

So much fun watching this!  Your dogs are soooo Happy and soooo loved!  The way they stay focused on the toy you are getting ready to throw out....so cute!

And yes, the underwater camera showing their "dog paddle" really is spectacular!  Seeing them use their legs to swim underwater  was quite fascinating.  It was so cute how Jara's pal (sorry, his name eludes me at the moment) turns and waits so they can swim side by side.  Such good friends♥️

Thanks again for sharing  the joy of Jara and pal😎

Yeah, it's neat to watch their feet going so fast through the water. There is no way on earth I can paddle that fast!

Hello friends, on Tuesday the 21st Jara had another chemotherapy session, everything went well, the neutrophils were at 2000.

The weekend we were on the beach, some videos playing.

Made my day!! Cannot stop smiling!  These videos are just beautiful to watch on so many differen levels.   Obviously  the scenery is beautiful.  But seeing Jara so happy....seeing all your dogs do happy,...just warms my heart.

I had to chuckle  how in one video you sort of tried to give Jara a head start while holding the smaller dog back at first.  The little dog definitely liked to get the ball first!!! Sorry, forgot  his name.....just know all three should be named the "Luckiest  Dogs on Earth!

Curious, does Jara show signs of being sore after having so much fun running  on the beach?   Running  in sand adds an extra workout.  The video of you carrying her back with her tongue hanging  out showed a very tired, but very  happy dog.

Jara is showing everyone  being on three doesn't  hold dogs back at all from living life to the fullest!!!  It is such a joy to see her so happy.  We always  love your posts of Jara and her pack.

Hugs

It is not pain, it is fatigue, it does not stop until its batteries are at 0

WOW now that is a lovely dog beach! I'm so envious! The dogs look like they have a blast over there.

Running on sand is quite a workout for them. Jara does look pretty tired, I thought I saw her do a stumble or two? Happy, but tired. It's so hard to ask them to take a break isn't it? 30 minutes doesn't sound like a lot but instead of letting her batteries get to 0, how about letting her batteries run halfway down instead? That way it won't take her as long to charge up again icon_lol

LOVE the doggie backpack!!!

If the batteries are not at 0, Jara jumps out of the backpack, this happened when he had 10 minutes of backpack and the batteries recharged a little.

Awww Jara, you are extra sweet when you snooze!

Congratulations on completing chemotherapy!

And now you can be freeeeeee to live your beautiful life and have fun fun fun! 

So what is the metronomic treatment they have prescribed? I'm curious to know the medications they are giving Jara.

I did not ask him about the medications, he told me that the treatment would be six months of pills.
