Still Quick as Ever

Sunny will balance food on her nose and snatch it out of the air on command. In this case she actually performs slight of nose by magically changing her jerkey treat into a dog cookie. Difficult to catch the action, but this picture is worth a couple thousand words. Her cookie busts in half in the air and she catches half. Click on picture and you can see little pieces fly through the air.

Tucker has no patience and only hopes to pick up her scraps.

Tucker wants in on the action

Just another lazy Saturday, but luckily the camera was close by to catch the two of them together. This is Tucker's (left) first blog post and of course being a mutt with Chow in him, he's a bit shy.

As you can see, Sunny has full energy and doing great (knock on wood). Today was spent almost completely cooking for her. A lot of beef and chicken (still cooking) to prepare for the next couple weeks.

Sunny's 4th Cancer Treatment update

Sunny went in yesterday for her 4th of 5 chemo therapies. Oncologist said she is doing great - white blood cell counts are very healthy and she's borderline anemic, but no concerns. She has passed the 3-month mark, which is the average survival rate for dogs with this kind of cancer (without treatment). Obviously our best hopes are to get her into remission and beyond a year, but at this point, every day is a gift with this girl, although a very expensive gift.

So, she's chilling on the iJoy turbo massage chair.

August update

Later this week she goes in for her second to last treatment at the vet. So far, pretty good. Still a ton of energy and the ability to wake me up around 7am for her food. A little bit more restless in the evenings before going to bed.

You can see the nutcase just minutes ago when told the magic word, "cooooooookieee."
