Im not surprised only you Sally could find that lol
Yes today it waits we all need a break and today is that day!
Hooray! What great news! I am so happy for you and Purrkins!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Gosh I just saw your thread, Holly, and am totally completely entirely and absolutely thrilled 🎉💥💥🎉
If it wasn't so late here I'd raise a glass to Purkins 🍸🍾
I tell'ya girl, these are the BEST news for quite a while, could not be happier for your cutie kitty 😻
I'm not surprised he's so loved at the vet, how can anybody resist that beautiful face of his ?
As for your other gorgeous kitty having a purrcino ... precious .... simply precious 💕💕
I am really really happy for you and Mark, you made my day (well, technically you made my night😄)
Sending you the biggest hug since bear hugs were invented 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼 and tons of cuddles to your gorgeous kitty cats 😻😻
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
Thank you Christine!!
Its a celebration day!
Purrkins will celebrate more tomorrow when his drugs wear off 😉
Big hugs to your and cuddles to miss cow in Cannes
That video is soooooooo PRECIOUS!!! Saxton REALLY likes his PURRPUCINNO!!
And he has such manners! He is so delicate, in a manly sort of way. I love the happy slurp sounds he makes.
Still over the moon HAPPY for Purrkins!

Whew, what a relief!! 
I'm glad you had some fun things to do while waiting.
Purrpuccinos are a great way to celebrate. I'm sure Purrkins appreciated that Saxon held down the fort while he was busy.
By the way, a vet tech told me recently to keep the lights down low for when cats are recovering from sedation. Hmmm, lights off, candles lit, mellow music, and a couple licks of Purrpuccino may be in order for sweet Purrkins.
Kerren and Tripawd Kitty Mona
Sorry Teresa I called you Christine, its been a long day and my head .🙄
anyway big hugs to you Teresa and Miss cow!
Thank you Kerren and Mona!!
Definitely a relief and huge weight lifted. Saxton was not real happy without Purrkins today but he did make due;) He celebrated for Purrkins.
Thanks on the lights down low tip,That were are doing the music and Purrpuccino Purrkins is just too pooped and he just wants to rest. He was busy cleaning and getting all those smells off him:)
We are calling it a night now. We will celebrate more tomorrow when he feels up to it.
Hugs to you both!
FANTASTIC NEWS!!! The flags are waving over here and the trumpets are blasting a fanfare!
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
Just catching up...
Congratulations!!!! A long stressful day (which I managed to miss) but a huge reward at the end. It's always so uplifting when we hear 'cancer free'!
Karen and the Spirit Pug Girls
Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.
1999 to 2010
Thanks Karen !
Yes it was a LOOONG stressful day, all that waiting and wondering, mind swirling is not good for any of us!
Thankfully we got the best news we could get. HUGE REWARD indeed.
We have to redo this again in another 6 months
We can breathe again until then.
Sharing a picture for all, Here is poor Purrkins shaved again!
For once they did not go overly crazy with the clippers😍
Don't look at his chubby belly we are working on that😉
Poor guy his Mom is sharing his rolls .
P.S.
Sorry for the no face picture ,I followed Purrkins around with the camera for the calendar photos for weeks on end.
He has not been cooperative on posing for me since, he is simply over me with the camera
I understand I don't like my photo taken either
