Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
This is a TOTAL V I C T O R Y on both your parts, congrats!!!! xoxo

Howdy and welcome!!! I'm late to the post, but what a beautiful fur-baby! I totally understand all the stitches and stuff. Harmony had stitches in her belly, shoulder and her head. Kudos to you. It's very difficult to stay level-headed and you're doing a marvelous job!
Can't wait to hear more and see pictures!
