And Happy Hannah says YAAAAY for Elizabeth's recommendation of ice cream amd steak!! Superb diet!
Elizabeth, you made such good points about quality and just lettingnthem "be dog" I think ne reason Happy Hannah and I laughed so much was I knew-----that she knew----she could do ANYTHING she wanted! When she stuck her head in the kitchen trash (aka "all you can eat buffet" in dog land) and kept wagging the whole time because she knew I was laighing and telling her what a good girl she was! She had so much fun doing things she knew she couldn't get away with before! Of course, I never let her jad anything bad from the trash.
Deb, the video of Lexi running through the vuttercups.....so sweeeeet!! Yeah, the video was a little whacky, but I was able to see how hapy and pretty she is...and that made me smile!!
LOVE TO ALL!
Sall and Happy Hannah
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!

We are only doing x-rays because Charlie is in a clinical trial for Palladia. He'll have them every 8-12 weeks for a bit (can't recall the actual schedule). But before we got started on the trial, we had also very seriously discussed foregoing the ongoing x-rays.It was such hard news initially. For us, we have developed a 'new normal'--fully aware of the reality, but most of the time, content to be happy in the moment.
Hi,
I hope Charlie is doing well. Can you tell me more about your experience with Palladia? My dog Blumi had osteosarcoma, we amputated, did IV chemo, then metronomic, but on her first ampuversary ... lung mets. So vet has me add Palladia (on alternate days with Leukeran, which is part of her metronomic protocol)
Have you considered traditional chinese medicine? I am considering adding some of the herbs recommended by Dr. Lena McCullough of pathwithpaws.com (there is a great radio interview with her on tripod talk radio).
Would love to hear your experience. thank you

Sorry for chiming in late here, just thought we'd share some informative and relative posts about lung metastasis from the Tripawds Featured Blogs. You can search all blogs here.
