My aunt pointed out that it looks like Willa only has two legs (!) in the second photo. That would be real talent.

Hope all goes well tomorrow! We'll be baknforfing.

Doolin might have outraced her, but Willa is the treat-catching champion. (And yep, it's time for the first mow of the season here.)

Enablers R Us! Sorry, Gelsey...I can't pretend to be objective here since you've all seen what I did to Willa for Halloween.

Precious girl.

It works! Perfect way to spend the day.

Thanks for posting this, Don. I'm on Facebook solely for some of the hound- and osteo-related groups, and the Yale vaccine group is one of them. Dr. Mamula chimes in there from time to time, and is very helpful. There are some amazing stories of dogs surviving 3 years or more...obviously we're hoping Willa's one of them! She had no side effects from the vaccine, and, all going well, she will have her booster in August (the one-year mark) in Cincinnati.

I know exactly what you mean and how you feel. It's not the right decision for everyone, for any number of very good and sound reasons, but when things work out and you see your dog so happy and back to themselves, it's hard to conceive of the alternative. They might be short on legs, but they are so full of life.

I highly, highly recommend Derma Gel. It's what the surgeons at our specialty practice use and send patients home with when sutures are not an option, or when a dog tries to remove them prematurely...been there, done that! It has kind of an herbal scent so the dog isn't tempted to lick it as much, and it works quickly, with or without a bandage.

Already a month?! Wow. Huge congrats on this milestone!

That's Doxorubicin—that stuff is hardcore and did NOT agree with Sweep. She had no side effects from Carboplatin though, nor did Willa. Since Amelia's getting Carboplatin too, she might just be bruised from the IV itself or sore from her new gait. Our oncologist always made a note of which leg they injected so they could alternate. I don't think they actually ever did Willa's other front leg, just switched between the back ones.

A late surge from her competitors! Ah, well. Thank you everyone for voting and/or cheering her on!

for good bloodwork!

Russian interference? I'm just thrilled she has made it this far, and I really appreciate everyone's support! Whatever happens with the contest, her clear x-rays yesterday are the best prize.

Yay for perfect labs! Whosagudboi. Wishing you all a peaceful and uneventful overnight.

Here's a Flickr link, because everyone must see her in her finery!

Extra ice cream for Mark! What a tough boy. Ellen, please write a book one day.

That's so strange. I have heard this before from people when I've used postimages. I wonder if it's the browser. I'm using Chrome on a Mac and I see Amelia in her cute pink striped shirt plain as day!

Thank you, Miss Jan! Willa has such a great PR team. She's in third place in her group. After this round, they'll crown a winner from each group, and all the winners will compete against each other. I think you should win by default if you have the patience for this process.

There she is! She looks SO GOOD.

All clear! Next appointment in 3 months unless anything changes!

All good thoughts for Mark's wee toofers and many scritches to Gracie!

You know we're gonna need a . I'm so glad she is continuing to do well! Willa has follow-up X-rays and bloodwork today.

He is beautiful. Congratulations!
