Lots to Celebrate Today – Otis’ 5th Month Ampuversary

Big day today!   Not only is it Otis’ 5 month ampuversary, but both dogs have their check-ups with our family vet.   At one point, I didn’t think Otis would be around to have another annual check-up.   But even better, I had noticed a lump on Tess’ chest, and it turns out to be nothing more than a typical lab fatty lymphoma (sp?).   So, Otis is doing great, and Tess is doing great.   What a great day!

Lots of naps, but we did that before the amputation too!

Otis, an 8 year old 106 lb. lab/Dane mix, became a Tripawd on February 9, 2016 after his right front leg broke due to osteosarcoma. We did 4 rounds of carboplatin, but lung mets were discovered on Agust 25, and he passed on September 4. Otis was half of a bonded pair, and his adopted sister Tess, passed suddenly of hemangiosarcoma on October 9. The day before Tess passed, a local lab rescue group had identfied Gator, a 120 pound 6 year old yellow in need of a home, as a potential companion for her. His picture was on my phone, and my house needed a dog. . .
