Hooorrray for Sammy! What type of treatments have you been using chemo...holistic. I am fairly new to this site so I don't have any background information on how you guys are fighting this thing. Are there earlier posts...forums to be directed to?
My dog Bender is celebrating his 3 week ampuversary and diagnosed with osteocarcoma as well. I hope to help him fight the good fight as well!
Thanks and Congrats,
Betsy and the Bdawg
Woot! Woot! Yaaaahooo! Congratulations Sammy, sweet sixteen indeed! You've really shown the world that despite some setbacks, things do get better and life can get back to normal once more. Thank you for being here to inspire so many.
Betsy, you can read Sammy's blog here.

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
Sweet Sixteen - that does deserve a driver's license and cake, lots of it.
Congrats Sammy - I'll make my tail wave for you today and some extra treats too!!
Sammy, congratulations on your special day! I hope you get plenty of treats to fill your belly!
Thanks friends 🙂
It is lots of "medicinal napping" going on today, resting up for the big adventure tomorrow when I take both boys to go see Dr. Pam. I managed to take a shower today, but thats about it. I love having an exra few days off!!
Betsy and Bender, I am so sorry about Benders diagnosis, but welcome aboard and congrats on 3 weeks. I can encapsulate our journey for you. Sammy did 6 rounds of carboplatin (it was actually a generic version, MUCH CHEAPER comparitively)he took his suppliments then and now which are his daily fish oil, power mushrooms, glucosamine/chonrotin mix, metronomic therapy (which is a daily chemo pill) and meloxicam. Evo wieght management dog food. Low carb EVERYTHING except for the piece of bread I squish his pills in. Carbs feed cancer, so stay away from those!
Back to squishing up to my favorite boy along with a good book. Love you guys 🙂

Way to go Sammy!! 16 months -that's so awesome!! We will be celebrating with lots of treats and cheese today and of course can't forget the ice cream! Whoo hooo!!! You make us proud!

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Hooray for Sammy!!! 16 months is pawesome!!! Extra treats for Abby to celebrate!
Glad to hear he is doing better,
Jackie, 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.
