Just checking in to say Astro is doing fantastic and living it up!  Post-chemo follow up chest x-rays show no signs of trouble and the big lug has been happy and hoppy these last few weeks!  He's holding steady at a lean 122 lbs (carefully maintained with a diet of cheeseburgers and bacon sammiches).  All in all, Amp and Chemo were the right choices for us and I'm so grateful for the time we have. Love to our fellow Tripawds!!

I so love this boy. Just thrilled to hear how well he's doing. That face!!!! I know I say it every time, but... that face! He's just so expressive. And Rosie, sweet, gorgeous, ridiculous Rosie, and not forgetting the Zig, of course. What a delectable pack. 

Please, please keep the pics coming. I can't get enough of them.

Kisses all round.
