Happy Thanksgiving!

Fido Friday

Lily sleeps in.

Lily has been doing great! She will have her 4th chemo session this coming Weds.  We have found a combination of vitamins and antibiotics the week after her sessions that make her bounce back quickly from any side effects.

 

She has been playful, chewing bones and although she doesn't want to eat her KD prescription diet any longer, she will eat anything else I put in front of her with zest.  I figure at the moment it is better to just keep her eating!

 

This Thanksgiving we will morn the loss of Edgrr but be thankful for our time with him.  We will be thankful for still having Lily with us and to her Vet and medical staff for working so hard to help her and being so kind to us.  We will be thankful for all of our family and friends, local and on the internet, for their thoughts and prayers.

 

We will be thankful for our jobs and the roof over our head.   We will be thankful to be of this world and living in what is still in my eyes, the greatest country in the world.

In other words, we will be thankful for a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gerber in Sunlight

I wish I was a better photographer but I usually cut the heads off of my subjects.  I do seem to do okay with flowers though.   I got this Gerber the other morning just at sunrise.  The color was pretty intense.

 This was my artsy shot!

I love Gerber Daisies....they make me smile!

Fido Friday

Lily had a good and bad check-up this week.  Good news is that so far it looks like the cancer has not spread.  Her chest x-ray was clean.  But her red blood count was down again, so we are waiting another week for the next round of chemo.  Her vet and advisors at the Univ. of Florida say it's nothing to be too concerned about, just to be monitored.

She is a little bummed right now because The Husband is out of town and she misses him as do I.  But here she is basking in the glow of a pretty good checkup!
