Guess whose little black schnoodle face is going to be a topic of conversation at an oncology presentation focusing on OS in dogs. You guessed it, Arlie. "M" emailed me and asked if he could talk about Arlie and show some pics of the process. Naturally, I said of course and proceeded to send him about a billion photos of Arlie. Greg was ready to have "M" borrow Arlie for the day to prance him in front of all the docs to show off his awesomeness. I told Greg that we couldn't do that because Arlie is having his 4th round of chemo the day before the presentation (as if THAT is the only reason he can't be there). We really are THOSE fur parents.
No news on his bloodwork so I'm assuming that no news is good news.
Yesterday, Arlie threw up for the first time since starting chemo. I really don't think it has anything to do with his condition because he tends to throw up on an empty stomach. He doesn't always eat his breakfast or dinner when we give it to him because he follows us around the house instead worried we are leaving. When he throws up (when not eating) it's bile and that is how he has always been (since he's a puppy). He probably does it 1x a month and I've talked to the vets about it in the past and they don't seem concerned. Anywho, I have a point to this story. Yesterday he came up to me and was licking his lips and I said, "Arlie, did you just throw up?" He looks at the door and I let him out and he runs out and then throws up in the yard. I mean...COME ON....whose dog asks to be let out to be sick??? Anyone??? Anyone? I know he's MY dog but really, can there BE a smarter dog???? I think not!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly, tonight I'm taking video at how good we are getting with taking our medicine. We have it down to a science. You won't believe it. In fact, watch closely as if you blink you might miss it.
