Lately & Blog Hop

Lucky has the week off from her chemo treatments.  This last round was the strongest drug and she's gotten sick a few times, but ironically enough she runs to the kitchen begging for treats right after.  I know her tummy's bound to hurt but she acts like she's not phased by it. She still seems happy and snuggly as ever, still bouncing around and playing with her toys.  Her treatment next week should not be as bad.  She's had this drug before with no reactions.

We went for a CBC check with our vet this week and everything came back good.  I took Abby in for a thyroid test and found myself growing irratated with the people in the waiting room.  They just gaped at her and when they caught me watching they looked away as if she were contagious.  I finally spoke up and said, "She had bone cancer and part of her jaw removed" to no one in particular and then they all lept into apologizing and poor, sweet, pup mode.  I can't imagine what it's like to have a real child that is handicapped or deformed.  Lord knows, I'd probably get in some real trouble not being able to tame my tounge!

Oh...and Abby finally got her tennis balls back this week!  My husband has been hesitant to let her have them after all the surgeries and he wanted to make sure her mouth was completely healed.  I'd bought her soft, squishy, squeaky balls but she just wasn't into them so I made the executive decision this week that she was ready for her regular balls, and thankfully my husband agreed.  She was like a kid at Christmas.  I'll try and post a picture later! :)

AND....

I am participating in my first blog hop!  The folks over at Life with Dogs are so graciously hosting a hop and I decided to get in on it!
