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.

Feb 1: Visit to the vampire

It has been 7 days since the second chemo treatment and that means a visit to the vampire.  He conned the ladies at the front desk for who knows how many treats before he was even called back.  He knows how to work the system.   Arri was good about going back with the tech and he even peed for her.  Yes, they wanted him to because they needed to test that also.  The results were all good.  One level was outside the normal range on the low side but not so low that it was a concern.  Arri was his happy, dorky, clumsy self the whole visit.  Yes, he got treats from the Doctor and more from the front desk on his way out.
