Been a while since we had a Lily update, and she is doing remarkably well. She had chemo last Monday, if you remember, and she was a little sluggish on Tuesday and Wednesday, but she came out of it and has just gotten better everyday. She is greeting me at the door again when I get home, I am getting a lot of play bows and her tail is up and waggy, and she prances around and does her little shimmy shake thing she does with her butt when she is happy.
We head back up tomorrow for round 2 and some blood work, and it had been a while since he had a bath, and as always was a perfect angel:
She did find the time to give us a little raspberry:
And of course some Jedi action:
She’s now wrapped up in a towel like a baby and napping on my lap.
I hope we get good news tomorrow at the vet!

Is there something going on in your life that you might want to share with us jackals?

Best of luck, John, and Lily!!

So happy to see this, although kind of amazed that she likes the bath. Then again my visiting cat, Mr. Muffin, likes to stand in the sink with the faucet pouring water on his head. To each his own.

Aw. Thanks!

Lily! Awww…what a great tonic to see her after a day like today. That Jedi picture is just too much. She is the cutest and sweetest. Who’s the best girl? Lily is!

Can we obliterate the rest of the news and just focus on you and Lily?
Mnemosyne
Pretty girl! I hope all goes well at the vet tomorrow.
Annie has finally forgiven us for the lion cut and is even letting G rub her belly again. I think she’s a lot more comfortable without all of thwt matted fur, especially once the heat wave started.
P-girl
She is like a gentle fawn.
Yarrow
We’re all pulling for you. Go Lily!
Yarrow
@Mnemosyne: Did you ever get a picture of her?
My neighbor’s dog got her summer cut last weekend. I didn’t even recognize her! My neighbor said they took off 2-3 pounds of fur. She (the dog) seems a lot happier too.

@Yarrow:
I have a couple, but I’m not that happy with them. The lighting in our apartment is surprisingly yellow.

Such a good doggie!

She’s a beauty all right. Knows she is loved and it makes her glow.

@eemom: Yes, I agree.
Lily is so sweet, she looks like she loves a bath.
Yarrow
@Mnemosyne: At least she calmed down enough that you could get a picture.

Happy for Lily and John – and thanks for the pics.

She takes her baths without a fuss? – she really is an angel!
Love the Jedi Puppy pic.

Oh, you’ve got blood cancer? Here, let me put in this tub and put smelly shit and water on you.
I remain unconvinced of your healing properties, Cole.
Suspect she’d do better without you fucking with her, but you got to Daddy. Totally understand.

The Jedi picture needs to be in next year’s calendar. It’s just precious.

She is just precious. Praying for good blood counts. Thanks for the update about what’s important.

Pictures of Lily make my life so wonderful….

Nice photo sequence – and so clear and bright!! Hoping for the best for Lily at the vet (you too). My doggo goes in for his 3rd post-op cancer screening later in the month, so I can empathize with some of your emotions going in today….
