Week 2

The last 10 days have been busy for Trapper. The good news is that Trapper is in remission!! This is awesome news, because it means that the chemo is working!

Trapper is quite proud of himself for being in remission!

We went out of town and Trapper had his own "home away from home" in the garage where he could relax and sleep away from the hustle and bustle.


Chillin' on his throne



I'm taking prednisone, can you tell, can you tell, can you tell??? ;D



Our awesome vets sent fluids with us so that I could keep Trapper hydrated

What a gorgeous view. Makes you feel a little better, doesn't it Trap??

Hey, buddy.

The weekend was a lot of fun, but I had some poignant moments with my boy. He was definitely weak and thin, and, frankly, I was scared. But Trapper's never been one for crying or being sentimental, so he didn't play along ;D

When we got home, Trapper had his 2nd treatment, Cytoxan. This is the only medicine that's given as a pill 3 days in a row, instead of an injection like the other treatments.

To help Trapper feel better and stay healthy, he had laser treatment on his hips and some energy work compliments of Dr Andi and Amanda:

I was still worried about Trapper, as his stomach was still a wreck and his weight was down by 2 pounds, so we stopped by the vet's office on Thursday. The vet was awesome, and helped talk me off the cliff. She reminded me that Trapper would need some time to recover from chemo. Thankfully, he seems to be feeling better the last few days!

Look at those sparkly eyes! So happy to see Trapper playing with his toys again :)

Trapper's appetite is back! So is our pre-rinse cycle :)

OK, creepy photo, I know, but interestingly, Trapper has been sleeping with his eyes open the last few days--weird!



Food! Chicken, rice and ID food to be specific. I've been trying to load him up on calories to help him gain weight.



Cheers to my boy!!

As always, give your pups an extra hug--every day is a gift :)
