I'm sorry for the diagnosis...but like it's always said around here there's no expiration dates stamped on our furbabies. Calvert may surpass a year and I pray that he does. You have a wonderful outlook and hold onto that and live life to the fullest with your precious Calvert.
Keeping you both in my thoughts!

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
Time for Calvert to amaze! I hope you can keep us posted, but we understand if you are out enjoying every moment.
I hope the prognosis is wrong, but you have the right attitude. Tomorrow is never promised, you must treasure every moment.

Three days ago, I started a new album on facebook I named "365 days of Calvert" So my intention is to post a picture or video of him every day for the rest of his life.

Such a beautiful idea with posting a pic of Calvert for 365 days....and I like Sally's concept of "beyond". I will continue to hope Calvert goes beyond 365 days.
And the pictures thus far are AMAZING!! Calvert is truly a handsome fella and I just want to scatter kisses all over that sweet face of his!!
Keep the pictures coming...I'm sure this will be something a lot of us will look forward to seeing!!
Sending you and Calvert a GIANT HUG!

Ever since Calvert started his blood pressure medicine, he pees alot less. He makes it about 5 hours in the evening without peeing while I'm in class.
The picture of us from yesterday is my favorite. I was trying to eat, and Calvert doesn't always have the best manners. (LOL) I'm surprised he sat still so I could take it. I've been able to get really good pictures lately. He doesn't hold still for very long.
Awwwww! Look at the smiles on both of you! Adorable!!!

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
Awwww what a mushball! I say cuddling with Calvert is way better than being outside in the cold!
