RobinM Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Day 7- I don't know if it was a combination of windows open and overhead fan on (I was told the chemo can make them hot), or the fact that we were heading into day 7, or the fact we lowered the pain meds a tad and stretched it out a bit or all of the above or none of the above BUT.... She did much better last night. She slept more soundly than she has since she has been home. She was up of course several times but nothing like it has been. She went pee pee at 5AM out back and came back in and went back to sleep. We in turn, got about 5 hours sleep combined which is WONDERFUL in comparison to how it has been. I also want to mention I gave her a bully stick last night and she spent about an hour chewing, and gnawing it at it. THAT was a major thing to watch. She had an interest in it. We still haven't heard her ROOOO which was a constant nor have we seen her tail wag but I am holding on to every day there are baby steps. I hope that the people who have also recently had their pups diagnosed with osteo will get comfort from these pictures. We are ALL in this together. Thank you all for your continued prayers. I tell her all the time that so many people from so many different parts of the world love her and send her prayers.

RobinM Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Interesting choice of words Zoomdoggy- DH just text me, "check email" (I'm at work, he is home with them) and such is "turning a corner" Here is what he sent me. I cried. ROBIN ~ Mom to: Beau Think It Aint, Chloe JC Allthewayhome, Teddy ICU Drunk Sailor, Elsie N Fracine , Ollie RG's Travertine, Ponch A's Jupiter~ Yoshi, Zoobie & Belle, the kitties.

KingsMom Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It is so good to see that girl making such good progress. I'm sure you all feel a lot better now that you've had some sleep. Each day is it's own and I'm sure your girl will continue to progress. It makes my heart smile to see her roach! :D TNT Star Wars X Oshkosh Enigma King's PedigreeKing's sisters: Oshkosh Updraft, Dazie and forever in our hearts Oshkosh Ultra, Lily (3/7/03-2/18/13) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChasesMum Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 YAY POLLI! That is awesome! I don't remember when George first roached but I do know that he spent most of the last couple weeks with all 3 feet in the air! It was adorable to see him on his back grinning at us. ...I tried to add a pic of George but I can't! ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
