Scout must have run 5 miles chasing balls today.

We're starting week 2 of chemotherapy on the old one. I didn't understand what it would mean in week 1, so she had a bit of a crash and needed fluids administered.

We're working on keeping ahead of the nausea and lethargy now, hopefully that'll help her cope better. If her blood isn't in a state to accept the treatment this week, or she has another crash after treatment, we're going to discontinue and prepare for the inevitable.

She did take about a 3/4 mile walk in the sun with a spring in her step this morning though. She even played a little with the puppy that was exercising in the field we were walking around.

Update: her white counts were high enough to do the cyclophosphamide, so it was administered. She's at home begging for table scraps now.

The old dog's been eating like, well, a dog.

This is weird. She's gone 16 years with her ridiculous picky eating habits and never weighing a gram over 14 kilos (31-ish pounds), but she's been pretty frantically eating the last week (everything: kibble, table scraps, treats, and then begging for more afterwards). I discontinued the appetite-booster to save ammunition last weekend for when we will need it (probably after doxorubicin next week), so the only things she's on currently are an anti-emetic, a steroid, and the anti-biotic whose course she just finished.

Hoping she gets back to 14 kilos. The costco rotisserie chicken has been good to her.

Hugs and kisses for your poochess. Eating is good.

Alternate answer: one of the kids had a bag of weed and she found and ate it. It's the one who is glum and isn't eating.

Cute dogs but I bet you don't get many ladies who ask if they can pet your dog.

Dog took a turn again after chemo. We're stopping, there's no joy in a death march through treatment.

Shit, sorry man. That's a sad turn of events

 

[JAXvillain]

Sad arf

 

[Jehannum]

Shit, sorry man. That's a sad turn of events

Thanks.

We'll see what we can do with a much more limited scope of treatment. The stuff she's gotten so far has made her lymph nodes all exhibit total remission, but I'm not putting her in the hospital each time she takes the bad shit.

Chewie passed away quietly, in her sleep, in her favorite bed, next to the fire last night.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

At home and comfortable, at least

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

Sorry for your loss

[HipHugHer]

Sorry J. It is about the best way one can go I guess.

 

[wetwillie]

Sorry Jeh. Hope she had a nice Costco chicken dream . . .
damnit.
