Holiday Revelations

Hope you all enjoyed a nice peaceful holiday and have been sufficiently wished a "Happy New Year!" Happy New Year could be interpreted as "bon voyage" or have a good trip.  So with many well meaning blessings, we're about to explore the uncharted territory of 2012. Before we sail off,  Let's review a few noteworthy events from the last few weeks since I've written.

We had the pleasure of seeing many friends and family during the holidays. Everyone was happy to see Princess doing so well. She's become somewhat of a celebrity and enjoyed the attention of so many well wishers - both familiar and new. She's greeted all kindly and patiently. She's a model Rottweiler.

Holiday Socializing can be tiring!

Princess had a fantastic holiday -  animated and alert - playing ball, lightly wooshing, eating treats and getting lots of attention. Her appearance of overall health has improved significantly. Consequently, we've been able to go on two relatively long walks at the lake. The first about a 1/4 mile of trails and varied terrain, then a second walk of about 3/4 of a mile. Both ended with Princess wading in and drinking freezing lake waters.


Princess is mostly in "Trike Mode".   She's been using her leg more frequently and is surprisingly fast!  She climbs the stairs unaided. We believe that adding Fosamax to her protocol has helped to improve her condition. It's been about month since we started that.  Gene's suggested that we add fish oil to Princess diet. It's been shown to have significant anti-cancer properties. We'll start that in the next day or so.

Princess seems to be on an upward trend on the Navy Protocol plus Fosamax (alendronate sodium) protocol. Truthfully, this is way beyond what we expected. We are so thankful to still have her.  We hope for the best. We're holding off on a follow-up with Dr Chris for now. Thank you all for your loving support. Happy New Year!
