We just hit our 3 months anniversary. I can't get over its been three months already, where did the summer go.?! Snoops doing great, loving life and showing us what each is all about. We've been hanging at home lounging in the backyard sunbathing(when there's been sun, too much rain this year!) playing with our toys and just having fun being spoiled rotten by his family. I've been able to spend a lot of time at home with him which has been just been wonderful.
We go next week for X-rays (which I am nervous about, so keep your paws crossed for us) and we also go for our fifth chemo. We've handled chemo like a champ. Just a little tired about a week later, it usually lasts one day and then we are back to our self. We have weekly acupuncture which he loves and he loves his Dr. Shari who's great. Even going to the onco for treatment is a party for Snoop, he's visiting everybody there.! Well be talking about metronomic s next week and the course we are going to be taking which we are considering starting from that visit on.
I've sent pics to Rene and video of Snoop, since we still can't do , she's going to post. (Thanh you Rene!)
Enjoy, Esther and her Snoop
OHHHHHHH ESTHER AND SNOOP!! 'Bout time we have something to celebrate around here
I was about three miutes away from writing you "begging" yoj for an update post on Snoop! Realy! Weird, huh? Then again, not really! I know we get little bits and pieces in your responses sometmes, bt we wanted a "full scoop on Snoop"! YAAAAAAAY!

Glad he's sailing through his chemo! Ow there's ple ty of stuff on nere about metronomics . All sorts of newly updated stuff on Cytoxan and Leukeran...in large part thanks to Michelle and Katy and Jerry. Are they starting the meto the day of the fifth treatment? Just curious.
And by oh boy, the rain hasn't stopped here in Virginia the entire summer! I bet we've nly had a handful of days without rain! Humid, ugly hot days! Hard n tripawds!

~ Katy & Jackson
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
Happy, Happy 3 month ampuversary to Snoop
Keep kicking cancer's butt!!
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Great videos; what a pack you've got! Congratulations; very glad to hear these 3 months have gone so well; I'll bet the acupuncture helps a lot....along with all that loving!
