Congrats on your new boy, Cathy. Hope to meet him at GIG.

Rest well, Darby.

I'm so sorry for your sudden loss of TK.

I'm so sorry, Anne. I always loved your pictures of Spriet throughout the years. She had the most expressive eyes and ears. How lucky she was to be part of your family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

We've been where you are now. It sucks. I'm so sorry.

Good luck

She's adorable. Congrats.

Congrats!

That's a great update.

God bless you for adopting a shelter pet, Erika. I'm so glad that Brady is healing your broken heart.

I'm sorry.

So sad

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Kathy and Jim, we are so sorry to learn that your pretty, sweet Breeze has left you. Sending you both a hug.

lots of vet wrap and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide

Thanks for checking in, Lori. Murray had his one month follow up appointment with the radiation oncologist on Wednesday this week. Murray was 52 pounds at the last radiation treatment (He raced at 68.). He weighed 58 pounds on Wednesday, so that's great news. He looks good at about 63 pounds, so he is getting closer to his fighting weight. He seemed amazing to the vet. She felt that he was SO much brighter than he was one month ago. To me he still seems a bit flat. The vet said it's like when you try to see if you're losing weight and you look at yourself in the mirror everyday. You can't see progress that way. I told her that Murray wasn't all the way back yet. She said slow growing tumors like Murray's tend to shrink slower, so we probably need more time to see maximum tumor shrinkage. It's hard also hard to separate his flatness from the impact of the prednisone, the brain tumor itself, and his advanced age (12). She agreed that all of these things may be contributing to his lack of coming all the way back. He is definitely better from the start of September. Dramatically better, so that's good. So we will go back to see her again in January to see how much more progress has been made. Murray also has about six more weeks of prednisone then he is done with that drug. If he's not doing better in January, she said there are other drugs he can go on. So that's where we are. It's a slow process, but I'm still optimistic and glad we pursued the cyber knife treatment.

This moved me to tears, Jan. So beautiful....

I was devastated to see this post yesterday, Jan. We always looked forward to seeing your gentle boy at events. He was a perfect gentleman and so, so handsome. Ben was so lucky to have you as his momma, Jan. I am so sorry that your perfect boy has left you. Thinking about you and Dave tonight. Dewey, 2013

So glad that I was able to meet your perfect boy, Cathy. Sending you a hug across the miles. I know how badly it hurts.
