YOU GO RIOT! You are su h a beautiful boy!
My Beautiful Beloved Brownie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on February 26, 2019. With all odds against him he lived an additional one year and eight days with amputation, love, and prayer. I was honored to be his mom, and I have never been so proud! He will live forever in my Heart!

Pawsome!! I am glad that has worked so well for you! I will remember that in case we ever go down that road with Bo... but he is like a canine garbage disposal 
If it falls, it's always fair game for him (unless it's bad for him!) and he makes short work out of it, hahah!

Okay, it's clear we should all buy stock in Entyce and Riot needs to be their marketing spokesdawg!😎
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!
Bright-eyed big boy! Look at how alert and vibrant he looks. Food is medicinal isn't it?
Glad to hear he's not having any chemo issues. YEAH!

Oh my dog...! That handsome face just melts me... every time!
I wish i could give him Bo's appetite lol... and a couple of his fluffy pounds🤣
I've never had a dog that can be a chunky monkey eating only 3/4 cup of food twice a day😯😯
Way to go Riot! Keep eating and keep smiling 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you all for your continued support. I found a lump on Riot's remaining back foot. It's squishy, and he's showing no pain. He had quite a long walk yesterday, and did fine. I hate worrying about everything. He'll get an aspiration with his blood check on the 31st. Sooner if it causes a problem.
Here are his celebration photos.
Awww that's the best way to start my work day! I love seeing Riot when I log in. Thanks for sharing!
As for the lump.. .this is just a guess but it might just be a pressure sore that hasn't burst open yet. Good idea to have your vet look of course.
Wyatt has had a few of those on his back foot, and even has one now because he spent two days in a kennel with concrete floors which seem to instigate them. He is now on bed rest for a few days, poor guy. It stinks when your only remaining leg on one side is hurting.

Glad he can make a work day a little better. I hope Wyatt heals quickly. He's had some pressure sores over the years, and I don't think it's that. It's on the top of his foot, where it never really touches anything. I'm not too worried yet. Hopefully it's nothing. He has only had to get one dose of Entyce post chemo. He isn't eating a lot, so we're trying to get some extra calories in with stew and chicken.
