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.

2:30 Jan 2...waiting

I have one report back from the vet and it was not good.  There was so much fluid in Arri's chest that the x-ray was white.  He couldn't even find his heart.  The next step was to do a chest tap and try to drain some fluid via needles.  Still waiting to hear how that went.

I keep getting freaked out thinking my boy is here.  Sitting at the desk, he always has my back.  Today, there is a stupid white polar bear toy in the middle of the room and each time I see it out of the corner of my eye, I think it is Arri.

Arri's got my back.
