Our Mission

Good morning! Many days have passed since my last post. As time passes, the unit of measure always grows. Babies go from days, to weeks, to months then years old. Same with us. Going into this, we expected Best Dog's remaining lifespan to be days maybe weeks long - certainly not months.  We're coming to an important milestone. Next week, on February 17th, Princess will be 6 years old and it will be exactly 4 months since her cancer diagnosis.

Princess has grown stronger since my last post. She appears healthy, weighs 82 lbs, plays with her ball, goes outside on her own and climbs the stairs. This morning, she went out after eating. I walked to the back of the house to check on her though the window. Seemed to be about 10 seconds. In that time, she had traveled 75 yards uphill and was still going. In a few minutes, she returned, picked up her ball and prompted us to throw it.  Her leg in the area of the cancer has gotten hard and thick. Dr Chris hypothesized this to be bone cells regenerating in a cancer confused way.  Watching Princess, it looks like her pain is lessening and the leg is getting stronger. My view is that Princess has progressed from a critically ill dog to a "special needs" dog.

Taken Today!

There's evidence that the protocol is working. Let's get down to business. My personal mission as writer is to document all of this. You as readers can spread the word. Thousands of new dog families face this same difficult situation each day. They have no idea that there's a protocol option. My first couple of posts outlined the the choices that we faced. They're were not pretty or necessary. As readers, you are taking part in our amazing experience - and you can do more. Keep reading, pass this blog on to friends and family. It's not read nearly enough. Help others by participating. Give families hope, and their dogs a realistic chance of survival. Each of you, pass it on. Thanks for reading our story.
