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.

February 7, 2012

Forget about the leg looking better.  That was a one day fluke.  It all just depends on how much effort Arri makes to try and lick it.  Short of taping his leg in the bent position, he will be able to rub the wound with part of the e-collar. 
Today Arri went to see Dr. Mike – our home vet.  He only went as a guest. Teva was the patient.  Teva was due for all his shots.  Arri didn’t seem to like that Teva was getting attention so he did what he could to get pets and treats.  Dr. Mike has not seen a radiation treatment in years to I got to give him the skinny on what we have been up to.
