I think it is day 17, he is just so back to normal I am not keeping track! We had a busy couple of days here, taking youngest to visit colleges in the area. Coop was left for a while each day and did great. No more licking, but his fur is starting to grow in and he loves to have that area scratched! He is playing and just being himself. I have to post a picture of his usual pose…he lies down and crosses his front paws very demurely. We get a kick out of it, he is such a manly dog until he lies down! Vet called and his chemo pills will be in next week and we will start that. I am still not sure what it entails, I will need to call Monday. We are off to Boston the following week for more college visits, so I want to be sure we can leave him (though I have a GREAT dog sitter, thanks Amy :)) My older daughter will be with him so he’ll be fine. We get to go clean the pool now! He loves to chase the frogs and bark at the turtles!
Yay Coop! My fur is still growing back too, but at the beginning it was soooo itchy. I still like to roll on the ground to get in a good “scratching”. Keep barking at the turtles!
Coop, all pawrents stop counting eventually, because believe it or not, life DOES get back to normal!
Hey so about those pills. They do work but they’re not all that exciting. They don’t even make you glow in the dark!
Good luck with that though, it’s a breeze, you’ll see 🙂
Oh my gosh, Tate crosses his front paws too! Haven’t seen Sammy do it yet, though.
Is Coop on CCNU? Doesn’t matter, very easy. Wear gloves, stuff the pill (probably more than one) in whatever yummy you’re using, have Coop gobble it up and throw away the gloves. Unless they want them back, then put them in the plastic bag and seal it up.
They also warn you to keep other dogs away from his poop. But I caught Sam eating Tate’s barf once and it didn’t kill her.
Thanks for the compliment, Kate! So glad to hear that Cooper’s doing well. Can’t wait to see him again, now that his fur is growing back in. And I know all of your favorite spots for scratching, Coop!
