Week 3

Arrow seems to be doing better in the GI department. The verdict is that her upset belly happened because we overdosed her. Her arm is not looking so good. She seems to be somewhat uncomfortable and annoyed by her burn. I guess the question is really, "Who wouldn't be?" She's also having a little bit of trouble getting into the car after her treatment. That could very well be because she is pretty drugged at that point. Today she slipped and I had to grab her and lift her into the back seat of the car.

Tomorrow morning Sally is going to drop her off and then she stays at the hospital until Friday. The radiation tech came out into the waiting room this morning and in her hand was the big E-collar. Otherwise known as the lamp shade. Poor boney. She just doesn't look good in one of those. They said that she could wear a shirt instead of the collar. Sally and I bought her a nice little outfit. As soon as we put it on her, I'll get a picture of her and post it here. You might not recognize her :)

Eight more days of treatment left and although that doesn't seem like a lot, I can't imagine what her leg will look like by the time she is done. She is still incredibly frisky. Yesterday we went for a long walk with her old friend Montana and they ran around sniffing and hunting. Tonight she picked up a cornstalk from the field across the street and was playing keep away with Sally and I. She really does not look like a sick dog at all which makes us think she's going to kick cancer's ass! Go Boney!
