Hi everyone! It's been a while since I wrote here. Everything is sooo good with Penny! She's running, playing with Wilbur and is happy! Almost a week ago she was going to get her third chemo therapy, but she was to low in her white blood cells, so we should wait for a week, so on Wednesday she's hopefully gonna get it. I tried to insert some photos and a very short video from Photobucket. I copied the url-adress and so on, but it didn't work. I'll try in a new topic without text.
Best to you all!
Gunilla, Penny and Wilbur
I love reading news like yours!!! Keep having fun, smiling, laughing, and loving. These are the greatest days.
K, an 8 year old chocolate lab, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the radius and ulna on 12/23/11. She had stereotactic radiation to kill the bone tumors, and 3 rounds of carboplatin. On 3/16/12, lung mets were found. We tried several different kinds of chemotherapy to slow the lung mets but none worked. Finally, mets appeared at other sites, including her spine. She earned her angel wings on July 15, 2012. K changed my life, and I'll never forget her. Our/my journey is chronicled at romp-roll-rockies.blogspot.com.
Thank you! Yes, we really enjoy everyday. So sorry for your loss in July of your beautiful lab.

Photobucket doesn't always make it very easy to share photos. If you have a public album, give us the link to that and we'll try to add some of the picturtes here for you.
Thanks for the great update!

That is wonderful news and K is right, these are the best days. Enjoy every precious moment.
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
Glad to hear Penny is doing well! It's always nice to hear a good update!
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.
