Our beautiful Snoop celebrated his one month yesterday. ( I had problems getting on so sorry were one day off of this news) we are soooooo happy to say that he is doing very well. We've had our first round of carbo and handled it like a pro. We're getting acupuncture weekly and daily massages that Mom was trained for. So far wonderful progress. Beyond his physical progression he's back in every way with his beautiful personality. He's smiling and wagging his tail. Loving life and making us all in the family in awe of him, showing us again what really is important. I'm going to try and put up a video and new pic, so you all can the man.
Thanks again to all of you for your wonderful support, without finding tripawds navigating through all this would have been so much more difficult.
And last our deepest gratitude to Rene and Jim for starting this site reaching out to others thru your experience, loss and love. You've been an educator a mentor, and a lifeline of hope for us all here.
Snoop and his family Esther, Don, Chris and Mike
