Here’s Maggie coming home from her last chemo treatment.  She was happy to be home and to see Cody.  She RAN down the hall several times and then got into her bed for a nap.

Maggie has a great walk today.  Running so fast i had a hard time keeping up with her.  I brought treats to keep her going when she got tired (after a rest) and am walking her before it gets too warm.  She does much better off leash than on – so i keep her off as much as I can.  She looked so happy today!

I was really freaked out last time  – so thanks for the encouraging comments!!

So yesterday we went for a walk and she fine going out.  But when we turned around she kept stopping an lying down on my neighbors yard.  I coaxed her up after resting and she went another two houses and sat down again.  After resting for about 15 minutes, she really was not interested in getting up.  So i went to a neighbors house  and asked her to watch her while I ran to get the car.  Instead she offered a ride home.  When we got home Maggie would not get out of the car by herself and I lifted her out.  For the rest of the day – she was completely normal.   It was not very hot during the walk – 9:30 am and about 65 degrees F, so she was not overheated. Today she RAN like a maniac and (although i did a shorter walk) she came home by herself.  So i am just watching.  Every time her behavior changes i get scared.  But she seems fine today.  Still eating, going in and out of the doggie door when she wants a change of pace.

Maggie’s 3rd Chemo was done last wednesday.  Other than being a little more tired on her walks for a few days she is doing great.  Loves to eat!!  We’ve been careful with her diet and she’s down to 59 lbs from closer to 70.  She looks really good – her coat is very shiny and healthy.  We’ve made a ramp to get her into our truck and it’s much easier to transport her now.  One more chemo to go in 2 weeks.  So far – it’s all good.
