YEY! We made it! Today is Jackson's 1 month ampuversary! We celebrated with a nice little hop around the block WITH a tennis ball! He's not been outside with a tennis ball in months. He's looking good, feeling great, and loving life (and this ball). It's also a warm 45F degrees outside, so that helps, too. I took some videos, but I can't figure out how to upload them now. When I do, I'll post. Enjoy - and, check it out, he's showing off his bandana:
He's waggin' his tail too quickly! It's blurred.
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
HAPPY 1 MONTH AMPUVERSARY JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Yeah Jackson!!!! You are looking so happy with that ball in your mouth. Way to go hitting the 1 month Ampuversary. I'm glad the recovery is going so well. You are looking great. Keep up the fight! Hope Mommy gives you some extra treats tonight.

Congrats to Jackson and family! I love the pictures. I hope I'll be able to post pictures like that in a month.
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

Jackie, Angel 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. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Looking good Jackson! Happy ampuversary. There's nothing like running around pain free again!
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/
