Oh Lisa, I am so sorry. It is all happening so fast. Enjoy every precious moment with your beautiful boy. You, Zeus and his dad will be constantly in my thoughts and my prayers.
Many hugs
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/
I'm so very sorry to hear this. Your story has been very inspirational to our family and our dog Loa, who is exactly one month out from her amputation for osteosarcoma. Please know that you and Zeus are in our thoughts!

Lisa,
You got it....prayers coming your way....or should I say more prayers! I hope it brings you some comfort knowing how many people here love and care for Zeus and you as much as they do. What an amazing group of caring and selfless people.
We hope you have a quiet and love filled weekend with your boy.
All our Best,

Lisa,
I think you might realize just how many fans Zeus has here at Tripawds. Please know that we are here to catch the pieces of your breaking heart and help you through this most tough part of the journey ahead.
You, your husband and Zues will remain in my thoughts.
sending you hugs and wishes for alittle extra time for loving on Zeus,

I'm so very sorry to read this about Zeus....my thoughts are with you and your family...
Spoil him rotten for sure and give him many hugs from us all!(and to you!)
Tracy & Maggie
Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
Aww, so sorry. Who knows, you may have more time than you think. Levi's xrays were horrible in March but he made it ti June 26....we will be thinking of you.
Levi was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma 7-7-11
Ampuversary 10-14-11
Lung Mets Discovered 1-4-12. Chemo seemed to not be working so we switched to Artemisinin and other supplements. In May, Levi developed a sinus infection and started having seizures. The cancer had moved to his brain. We let him go 6-26-12.
Oh no. No no no no no. I have been away from the site and came back to find this...Lisa, I just don't know what to say. As everyone has written, Zeus has an amazing fan club. That smile makes it impossible not to love him immediately!! He has been such a brave boy and such an inspiration. You also have a huge fan club - your support and understanding of all of your fellow tripawd parents is phenomenal.
I know that you are spoiling him like crazy and making the most of every second...I am sure that this time will be incredibly happy for him as he basks in your attention and love.
So many hugs and good thoughts coming your way,
Alex
