Why am I writing this?

I have known many, many people who have had their dogs die from cancer. In many cases, the cancer was too far advanced to treat. Of those who did treat, you don't know the details of what they went through. It sounds quite simple when summarized with 'we went though chemo and he lived 2 years'. There is a whole lot more emotion and decisions to be made. Treatment is not always simple.

This blog is my own personal experience. Some days are filled with frustration, others are filled with laughter. If anyone is offended, I can't apologize for my emotions. I typed what I felt at the time. It does not mean I feel the same today. If you want clarification, just ask. No matter my frustrations, I know my vet and oncologist are doing a fantastic job of caring for Arri. He just is not co-operating by being a 'typical' case.

January 18, 2012:

Treatment 8:  We got a little snow last night and it is cold.  The sun is shining and the roads are dry.  Today, I stayed home to work. Tim was on his own.  Before he left, I reviewed his responsibilities and made sure he had everything for Arri.  They were late in taking Arri back today so the trip was a bit longer.  Once again, Arri came out with a bandage on his leg.  Same spot as before.  Tim did ask and she said that is where the injection was.  On Monday she told me they don’t give injections there.  Maybe it is a different person injecting and they learned a little different.
