Nothing New - Mar 31, 2011

Daisy's lump on her neck seems a bit bigger.  Otherwise she is eating fine.  Could not play outside today due to the weather.

I still worry about how her demise is going to happen.

Dog Park - Mar 29, 2011

I feel guilty for taking just Daisy or Daisy and Rookie to the Post Office.  Today I loaded up all 4 and took them to the Post Office.  Then we went to the Dog Park!

Daisy had a great time.  She did well.  Sometimes she gets a little possessive when people walk by the fence.

They all ran around for a bit.

I took my camera but they were moving around too much.

Daisy Doing Great - Mar 27, 2011

I am overwhelmed with joy at how well she is doing.  We didn't do anything yesterday but she did great at ChuckIt today.  She is having a blast chasing that tennis ball and Bunker is giving her a run for the money.

Daisy Doing Great Mar 23-25, 2011

Daisy is doing great.  She went to the Post Office a few times and a long ride to PetFoodDirect.

I found an article in Just Labs Magazine in which a female Lab lasted 6 months after diagnosis with prednisone and no chemo.

No Change - Mar 21 & 22, 2011

Daisy enjoyed rides to the Post Office today and yesterday.  She continues to do well.

I checked the insides of her ears and her gums for any sign of bruising or jaundice.  So far she is doing great.

Too wet to play ChuckIt.

Having Fun Mar 18 & 19, 2011

2 days in a row of ChuckIt.  She is doing well and having fun.

She went for a ride to Kohl's with me today.

This afternoon Daisy went for a walk around the small block with me.  She did great!

We are 5 weeks post diagnosis & 6 weeks post vet visit for the lump.

She looks great.  You would never know she is sick.

We did not play long because the yard is still very wet, but Daisy, Rookie & Bunker played for a bit.

Holding Her Own - Mar 16, 2011

Daisy is doing great.  She did not go anywhere today and we could not play in the yard due to the wet ground.

She did snitch on Bunker tonight.  She is a great snitch.  She told Kevin that Bunker had been in the downstairs powder room.  He grabbed the toilet brush...

Daisy Having a Great Day - Mar 15, 2011

Wow she just looks great.  We went to the Post Office today.  She came home and was strolling around the yard when she spotted a robin.  She was debating going after it but went back to sniffing whatever she was sniffing.

She played chase with Bunker and butt-tucked around the yard with him.

Hard to believe she has this deadly disease.

No Update - Mar 14, 2011

Got a little busy at work so I couldn't get a post up.

Daisy and Rookie went to the Post Office with me Monday morning.  When we got back home, Daisy was in the front yard with me.  A robin was prancing about the yard and Daisy was surprised.

Daisy - Mar 11 & 12, 2011

Sorry I did not post yesterday but my laptop crashed.

Anyway, all is good.  Daisy is still eating fine.  We went to the Post Office today.  No news is great news!

Daisy - Mar 7, 2011

Overnight the ground got saturated so no outdoor play today.  Daisy did go to the Post Office.

Kevin came home from work and found vomit on the carpet but we don't know which of the 3 loose Labs did it.  Kevin thinks it was Daisy because she ran away to the door when he walked in the house.

But Daisy normally runs the other way.

Wrote Daisy's Breeder Today - Mar 6, 2011

I took Daisy for a ride to Office Depot and BJ Wholesale today.  It was raining out so we did not play outside.

I wrote a letter to the Amish farmer who owned the dame that had Daisy.  Just a note to let him know that a Lab from the litter has lymphoma.  Not like I expect a response.

Daisy Doing Well - Mar 5, 2011

Daisy and Rookie went on errands with me today - about 1.5 hours.  Daisy was very happy - putting her head part way out the window and seeing the sites.  She is doing very well.

We played ChuckIt again today.  She still loves to play it.

No diarrhea, no vomiting and she is still eating normally.

I picked up some EVO lower carb dog treats.  I looked at the pet dried chicken and beef jerky but at $20 a pack, it would last about 4 days.

The Gang - Mar 4, 2011

Daisy, Rookie & Bunker played ChuckIt today.  Daisy seemed to have more energy.  No signs of any problems.  Gums still remain pale.  Red around the teeth.

Got some nice photos.  I still need a nice head shot of Daisy but all she would give me were profile shots!

Daisy Seemed More Interested in ChuckIt Today - Mar 3, 2011

Daisy and Rookie went to the Post Office today.  We cleaned up the yard and played some ChuckIt.  She seemed more interested in it today.  I did not want to wear her out so the gang played ChuckIt for about 15 minutes, maybe less.

She is still eating fine.  She did not want to grab her special biscuit when she missed catching it but I think it was because she wanted to go for a ride in the car.  She did eat the next one I tossed her.

ChuckIt Today and Yesterday - Mar. 2, 2011

Yesterday and today, I was able to get the crew out to play some ChuckIt in the yard.  ChuckIt is a tennis ball launcher on a stick.

Very sad today as Daisy, although she looks and acts fine, is not interested in running long distances after the ball.  Maybe about 15 feet is about all she wants to do.

Keeping a close eye on her.  The lump on her neck appears to be the same size.  She is not bloated or having any bowel or urine problems from what I can see.

Just sad to see my baby not chasing that ball across the yard.  She always wanted to beat Rookie to it.
