Happy Birthday Lisa!!
A big Woo-Hoo and a couple of BOLs (Bark Out Louds) from your "neighbors" in Ohio...we are hoping that you are having a most Pawesome day.
Treats for everyone! I'll be toasting you (and Zeus) with a nice cold one...after I take Xena & Roger for a hike. All the best to you...and Zeusy too!

Happy Happy Day, today!
I wish you and your pack the best kind of day... treats, snuggling, margaritas - okay that last one might just be for mom.
Enjoy your day.
Samdog and his mom
Samdog was a 10 yr old Golden and retired SAR dog. We found a bone mass on 8/17/12, needle biopsy showed sarcoma 8/22/12, amputation on 8/23/12, post-amp biopsy confirmed osteosarcoma on 8/28/12. Sadly, we found lung mets on 11/27/12 and my Spirit Sam earned his wings on 12/2/12.
We didn't know where we were headed and we don't regret a single step along our path. It all happened too fast, but he left a legacy of love that we will always cherish. Good bye my heart.

Happy Birthday Lisa! So glad Zeus is there to share it with you; enjoy your day!

Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011
Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…
Happy birthday Lisa! So do you have yellow icing on your face or did Zeus get the icing on the cake today? I know just having Zeus there to help you celebrate is the best gift you can have. Enjoy your day.
Harley is an 8 year old Golden Retriever. Amp surgery for an infiltrative lipoma canceled due to two masses in chest. A rescue, he found his forever home on 3/18/07 and left for his eternal home on 1/09/13. His story and medical history are at http://myharley.....pawds.com/
Happy Birthday Lisa!
Our pack has been following Zeus' blog all along.
We hope your day was filled with dog joy!

Lisa, I hope your day was wonderful and that cute Zeus gave you lots of kisses and snuggles. I also hope you shared fine (human) food and drink with your people. After all, there are many ways to celebrate!

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011
Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.
Happy birthday Lisa! We hope you had a great day with yummy cake and lots of Zeus snuggles.
Hugs from our whole pack!
Thank you! It was a nice, quiet day. After the amp we didn't want Zeus jumping on the couches, so we put a futon mattress in the floor and it is still there nine and a half months later. I spent the entire day on that mattress cuddling with him. Could not have asked for a better birthday!
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

That sounds like the best possible way to spend your birthday!
Continuing to send pawsitive thoughts for our boy, Zeus!

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.
