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.

April 14, 2012


The tumors are growing.  I can see them clearly now.  Maybe others wouldn’t notice but I do.  Arri went in for his blood test yesterday.  Tim took him in.  Dr Mike agreed they are bigger than the last time he checked.  I don’t know the results of the blood test.  Not sure if anyone will call to let me know or not.

Personality wise, Arri is still a dork. He is playful and goofy as always. He is shedding like a fool right now.  Just the weather I think.
