Highs-Lows-and Frisbees!
It’s been an exhausting time, unsure about Hyde Dogg’s time with me, we have highs and lows. There are days his energy is normal and I wouldn’t know anything was wrong. There are days where I’m unsure if we’ll make it through the night. I guess that’s his warrior spirit- living the life he wants to have. Late last week we started the Molasses, Artemisin, and Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang, and both of Dr. Becker’s Shaker Solutions (PetsVeratrol and Immune). I’m going to add the vitamins suggested by my doctor starting tomorrow. What I thought about this morning is that I’ve only heard him cough 3 times since we had our x-rays 1.2 weeks ago. That’s a good thing. What I’m sad to report is that Hyde’s tumor has grown back in the same spot it was originally. Cancer is crazy. His reports showed the margins were clear, the doctors reported they “got it all,” but somehow it’s right back where it was. I think in a way we’re lucky because now he doesn’t have a leg there to put pressure on it, so walking is much easier then it was a 4-legger.
We really have had some high-highs and low-lows this past week. Keeping our spirits up, take a look at his latest You-Tube Videos! Frisbee Fun and Loving the Ladies of the neighborhood!

First, I want to celebrate the joy and hoppiness in HydePod’s face and all that he finds good in this world. Look at him GO! I can’t think of a better way to just lose yourself in the moment and appreciate everything that’s right there in front of us. Hyde, you are such a gift!
Now, I’m really, really sorry to hear about the ups and downs. We had a similar ride when dealing with mets and from one day to the next you just don’t know what’s going on. Life is always like that but the cancer’s progress really puts that notion in warp speed you know?
I wish I had something to 1) make those nasty mets stop being bad and 2) help you get through the roller coaster ride. I don’t, but you know who does? Hyde! His smile, his appreciation for life’s everyday moments, that’s what will help you stay strong when things get ruff. Give him a big smooch from us and we send lots of hugs to you. May the week ahead be filled with joy and love.
