Cadence is 6 weeks post amp and doing great.  She goes in for her 3rd chemo treatment next week and so far so good.  Her gums are still pale at times so the vet suggested next chemo session they may do a sonogram of her heart to make sure everything is ok.  Her blood work came back normal after the last chemo session so the vet is a bit perplexed on why the gums are pale at times.  Its kind of random.  Sometimes it happens after a walk, which would suggest blood circulation problems.  Other times she can be sitting there, doing nothing, and when I check the gums, they are pale.  One more thing for me to worry about.  She is a trooper though.  Its amazing to me how she has adjusted to life on three legs so well.  

When we go for our walks she still wants to go the same route we used to, which now is way to long for her to go.  She is so darn stubborn though.  She will sit at the corner and want to cross the street.  Its like she is on auto pilot.  We are slowly making her walks longer.  Just like everyone has said, they will let you know when they need to rest.  The other day she started to sit in the middle of the crosswalk.  That was a bit frightening.  Note to self....make sure we don't have to cross any major intersections when walking. 

There are days when I still get sad knowing what might be coming around the corner for us.  Cadence has brought so much love into our lives and to think one day she wont be here breaks my heart.  But Im learning to live in the moment and enjoy all the happiness and joy she brings into our life.  She still has so much pep in her step and everyday she makes us laugh, either with a look or playing with her "squawking" rubber chicken.  When she plays with that thing we laugh non stop.  That's what life is all about right?

I tried inserting a few photos so hopefully it worked.
