Count Down Week

Happy Monday! We're closing in on Best Dog's check-up date with Dr Chris. Her appointment is this Thursday the 17th. It will be 31 days since the start of her treatment.  

Princess has been in good spirits lately. Yesterday, we took her along while visiting our daughter and son-in-law. Their dogs are Princess's cousins; Blitz and Pig Pen. Blitz is a sweet German Wired  Hair Pointer (yeah he's wired for real) and Pig Pen in a Pug Mix with sweet disposition. Princess, Blitz and Pig Pen are long time friends. It was the first time in a month that Princess has seen them or had a play date. She was excited, well behaved and they all seemed to enjoyed her visit. Right now, she's zonked on Rug Island running in the fields - undoubtedly dreaming of her fun time last night.

Princess is doing well. She's continues on the Navy Protocol medication twice daily and has no apparent negative side effects. Her right rear leg is visibly atrophied from diminished use. We have three days to go until her check-up. At that time we'll compare her leg and chest x-rays from those taken on October 17th and look for evidence that the treatment is reducing the cancer. So the outcome of this check-up will determine our plans going forward.  Unless something comes up between now and then, I'll hold my next post for Thursday afternoon. We're crossing our fingers and toes.
