Sam is officially in remission !!!

Well, it is official.  I picked up Sam late this afternoon and had a moment to chat with Dr Landry.  He stated that she is now officially in remission!  How cool is that?  She still has many more weeks of Chemo, but, she is now on a two week cycle.  She had a tough treatment today, but she seems to be doing well.  Sleeping now.  She did come home and immediately go and find her favorite tennis ball.  Then, proceeded to lead me outside to the grass.  The dog walks with so much pride.  Even a couple hours after her Chemo treatment.

Thank you to everyone who has kept her in her thoughts and prayers.
Always remember... A dog is only part of a humans life, but for the dog, the human is the dogs entire life.  Make it the best life a pup could possibly have!

Three month note

It has been just about three months since the evening Leslie and I noticed the enlarged lymph nodes on Sam.  Time does fly.  Personally, I have gone through a myriad of emotions with the initial diagnosis and subsequent treatment.  We are Absolutely Blessed that we get to spend all the time we can with her.  As I have said before, this Corgi is my shadow.  She is sitting here right now, on her bed, enjoying a cool breeze from the open window.  Truly a dogs life!

Her treatments will continue again next week.  For many more weeks to come.  We were delayed again this week due to negatively reflective blood work.  Which is fine.  Sometimes it does take longer then a week to recover from the Chemo.  We could not be happier with her progress.  We are hopefully that she will be declared officially in remission very soon.

Sam has taken up the new idea that she needs to bring a toy outside with her every time we venture out.  I have ordered more pup tennis balls to help her in her quest.  She holds her Corgi head up high, prancing outside with her toy in her mouth...leading me to the grass to toss the ball across the yard.  Neat to see how proud she is.  She like to let everyone know that she is the boss.
