ate all her breakfast (dry and without begging from mom and dad)
jumped all the way to my truck seat (she hasn't been doing that)
has a definite spring in her step
met two goldens, an aussie, a lab and two schnauzers at the park (ALL off leash in the "leashes required" park :shock: )
muck rolled in some unknown yellow crap
....and later that night??? she humped my leg!
today at the park, gracie seemed to have something stuck in her mouth....I pried her mouth open and at first didn't find anything....then, I found a stick, stuck sideways on the roof of her mouth. I pulled it out and what did she do??? immediately pounced on another stick :fp:

A very, very cool guy on this board just had to put his dog down. I'm going to respect his privacy but I have to put it out there as to how helpful and supportive this guy has been for gracie, codie and me.
when I first posted that gracie had lymphoma, my friend posted the following:
"I’m just a dog loving guy who considers these animals better than most humans so I try to do my part when I can. If you’re interested in just asking questions, whatever, shoot me a PM and I’ll give you my cell phone number and email. "
pretty much says it all, doesn't it? I have talked to him plenty of times about our dogs, their cancers and the impact both have had on our lives. his sweet dog also had lymphoma and had also fallen out of remission but seemed to be doing pretty well. this owner did everything in world he could have done for his dog....and then, suddenly, his dog declined in a matter of days. I hope my friend posts something but he may not. If you guys know who I'm talking about, please reach out to him or at least think a good thought for him and his family.
thanks, buddy, for all your support. I hope we talk soon.
Thanks, Rob. I'm glad we were able to talk and share our experiences. I’m still here for you and Codie and Gracie if you want to bounce a question off me. And I'm looking forward to meeing in Portland too.
With any luck my time dealing with Bruno's cancer will be my only experience, but I'm a boxer dad and that breed seems to have a propensity for that kind of thing. I’ve still got Sasha (my other boxer) and she’ll be twice as spoiled and loved so there is something good to come out of this.
While I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, if someone here learns their dog has cancer feel free to hit me up with any questions. If I have an answer I’m happy to share it and will also let you know about my experiences over the last year battling Bruno’s lymphoma.

So glad that Gracie is doing great during the holidays!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and of course the lucky ones on this thread that get to share their lives with a canine pal:) Here's Rosie, who was NOT amused when we put dad's sweater on her:
"Sun sets on this ocean- never once on my devotion."
"If I had this guy's voice, you could all kiss my ass."

She looks purdy.
It sorta looks like that here. We were iced in today.
Maybe Django would like some boots like Gracie's. :think:
