Everything is still great on the home front here with Nova. Yesterday she had her latest CBC and everything was great! She didn’t particularly enjoy the trip to the vet yesterday though, because it was sooooooooo cold. Even with her nice fleece coat, she was zipping to and from the car and through the parking […]
Today is Nova’s TWO month Ampuversary! I look back at how things were going a month ago, and it really can’t get any better. She is definitely back to her old self, and her incision has healed beautifully. Her hair is starting to grow back here and there, but for now it is pretty patchy […]
It’s so hard to get Nova outside in the Winter to play, she is really much more like a house cat than a dog! During the other seasons she is plenty active (active for a couch potato Great Dane), but she doesn’t do regular dog things like chase balls, retrieve sticks, and dig holes. When […]
I was just reorganizing my photo archives and I came across this picture of Nova as a puppy, just a week or two after we brought her home. What is special about this picture is that Nova still occasionally naps in this position as a 108-lb dog. As a 15-lb puppy, its sooooo cute. As […]
The first thing I want to say today is… YAYYYYYYY!!!! Today Nova went to the Animal Cancer Center for her 3rd round of Carboplatin. The 3rd round is particularly scary because that is when they do another round of chest x-rays to see if the chemo is working. Last night I was a mess. I […]
Just within the past 24 hours, Nova has developed these weird splotches on the back of her neck and right below it on her upper chest. She is not scratching it or anything, but it appears to have spread between last night and this morning. Of course that has got me worried.
The Christmas Holiday at our house was terrific, and Nova was the life of the party. I continue to be amazed at her pawsitive attitude and enthusiasm for life. You would never know that this dog has cancer. Her appetite is up, in fact she “tells” me when it’s time to eat, and gobbles it […]
Don’t you just love the holidays? Being that I am still recovering, it’s been great for me because there has been a lot of activity at the house, like presents and food and visitors. Last Friday the kids had a snow day and now they are off school so I am getting love and attention […]
I took Nova back to the Cancer Center yesterday for her second round of Carboplatin. I recall the last time I was there 3 weeks ago I was handfeeding her ice cubes because she wouldn’t drink. It was thrilling to see how much she had improved in 3 weeks. That morning she ate a big […]
Today is Nova’s one month Ampuversary! It is so amazing how far she has come in one month. She is really back to her old self, aside from hopping rather than walking. The only thing that bothers me is it is taking FOREVER for her hair to grow back. So she still looks naked. I […]
