Christmas Pictures

Merry Christmas!

It has been almost 2 months since Lila's diagnosis. My best Christmas present this year is having Lila with us this year. For a while there, we didn't know if we would be able to afford everything, but I guess we did it anyway. There are just some things that are more important than debt. I know somehow someway we will make it. Even if it means getting summer jobs.

I hope we can spend many more happy, healthy Christmases together! :-) She seems to be back to herself again. There are of course are certain things that are a little more challenging for her. There are times I just smile and watch her because I am so proud of her. I know it can't be easy, but she doesn't let her handicap get in her way. Just yesterday, Burnie, our greyhound began to charge off with a toy. Lila saw this and charged right after him and stole the toy right from his mouth. He was so stunned that he just stood in confusion. I'm so blessed to have my sweet girl her with me for another amazing Christmas! Christmas pictures are soon to come!

Merry Christmas!

On a High!

Keith and I were so thankful for the help we received from the Dog and Cat Cancer Fund! You can find Lila's page at http://www.dccfund.org/dogs-treated/lila/ . As the weather gets colder, the crazier Lila gets. This morning she was trying to get Burnie to play with her.

This round of chemotherapy was different for her. She has still has had a whole lot of energy and her appetite.. well she is begging for food hours before it is time to eat. We still think it was the antibiotics that were the cause of those symptoms. So only good news to report! :-) I'm going to post a few videos. I have been meaning to post them, but well.. I've been busy! :-) Have a wonderful holiday season!

Great Days!

The past two days Lila has soooo much happy energy! :-) It has eased my soul. She has been so incredibly playful. Overall she has done so well. This Saturday we go for our second round of chemotherapy. Luckily, The Dog and Cat Cancer Fund has chipped in some money to pay for part of one chemo treatment! Thanks Chris! Things are GREAT! Last night was the first night that Lila didn't wake me up in the middle of the night to go potty. Wahooo! I have been soooo busy, so sorry that I haven't been keeping up with this blog. I will have more time in 2 weeks!!
