An update... he is doing ok. He is slowing down and gets tired going out to potty. Sometimes he has to sit and rest half way back to the door but we eventually make it back! He has his ultrasound on December 15 to see if the cancer has spread or if the tumors on his spleen have grown. Think good thoughts that this round of chemo has helped to give him some extra days. He had a good Thanksgiving and got to lick lots of plates!
I've got this great visual of Guinness happy as can be licking all the smears of gravy and turkey on the plates!! Tripawds take being spoiled to a whole 'nother level of enjoyment! 🙂
Fortunately veing tired isn't painful or uncomfortable. It just means lots of rest stops, thats all! Guinness is still being Guinness and enjoying effortlessly flowing from one happy moment to the next.
And you better believe we'll be sending good thoughts! Guinness has his whole Tripawd family cheering for him...and that's a whole lot of positive energy coming his way!! 🙂
And don't forget a little scoop of ice cream to topmoff that turkey plate for Guinness! 🙂
Lots of hugs

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Nothing but pawsitive energy for our beautiful boy Guiness! I completely agree with Sally on this one... Guinness deserves ice cream on top of turkey!!!
Massive cuddles to Guiness and pawsitive thoughts both healing and with love coming to you across the miles!

Yay Guinness! I'm glad you got some spoiling and great food on Thanksgiving. Got any pics for us? We need to see your handsome face!
Glad to hear things are going pretty well. Don't worry about the tired part, you're doing great kid.
Paws crossed for continued good news and hoppy days ahead.

Guinness you’re so bloody handsome! Your cousin Stan was being a true gentlemen... letting Guinness just hang, while he pulled!
Brilliant picture! You both look so handsomely young! And those beautiful coats you have! My gongases, so huggable!
So glad to see and hear that your doing well Guiness, keeping you in our thoughts!

Guinness had his ultrasound today - the masses on his spleen have enlarged and it is in his liver now. So as the vet said, we will go home to chase squirrels, cats, and vermin to his heart's content. I'll keep him on pain meds and we will enjoy our time together, however much that is. Thanks, all, for your support. I'll keep you posted. ❤️
Oh my ... I am so sorry. How is he acting? Is he still spry? You spend the most quality time that you can with him. Spoil the bejeezus out of him and stay positive. Please keep us posted. You are in my thoughts

Guinness McGuinness! Darling boy... tell your Mum that every day with her has been extra special and every day onward will be that and much more!
Darling Mum. Please know that you are both in our thoughts and will hope for many, many more days to come with your sweet boy!
Take very good care of yourselves!
All the very best from Petra, Stewie and his Pack
Not the news anyone wa ts to hear. CContinue to stay in the moment and, like you always have, make every moment count!
Of course Guinness didn't hear it so nothing has changed in his world! I do believe Guinness might have a bit of "selective hearing" though. I'm sure he heard the Vet say FO CHASE CATS AND SAUIRRELS!! 🙂 --- - Pretty sure the Vet meant to include giving him ice cream and steak too!
LET NOTHING ROB YOU IF YOUR TIME TOFETHER RIGHT NOW!! Guinness is still Guinness and is still enjoying being spoiled and loved and treated like the King that he is!
The only thing he. Ight not like is having his licture taken so often becw we MUST have more pictures of this boy! 🙂
Hugs and love to all

He acts as usual. Still waits at the foot of the bed for me to lift him on at bedtime. I've made him promise me he can't go without me at home. We have this conversation before bed and before I leave for work. He's done with vet visits - I want him to be at home from here on out where he is comfy and happy. His cousin Stan will be up for Xmas and can play old man tug of war! He gets treats and hugs and can do no wrong, even when he messes on the floor.
Here is a shot of the two of us. 
OMD!!! THAT PICTURE GAVE ME CHILLS!! IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! WOW!!! Talk about two hearts blending into one...there it is folks!!
It makes us all smile to hear Guinness is still being Guinness! I know it makes every moment that much sweeter because he is happy and greets each moment with joy and a wagging tail! 🙂
Can't wait to see ore pictures kf this MAGNIFICENT HA DSOME BOU!!! He REALLY is a stunning looki g boh! Someone here mentioned that when we take pictures, we should also take photos of just their normal everyday experience. Maybe laying in the sun, or, in Guinnes's czse, standing at the foot of the bed waie for you tonlick him up. And of course lots of xelfiex tigether. And of course, "old man tug o war"!
Lots of hugs

PS. Denamerin (Sp) is a good liver support you might ask your Vet about, even with "issues".

Love that picture! I am glad he is still being himself. I agree with Sally, pictures! And lots of love, steak, spoiling rotten! I saw that denamarin over in the swap forum just 2 days ago. Somebody had a whole bottle that they did not even open. I don't know if it is still there, maybe hop over and take a looksee. Denamarin <-- there it is!
