Happy Halloween!

What a day to celebrate! Taylor got his stitches out and it's Halloween. :) Looking forward to a fun night of trick-or-treaters!! We caught the boys off guard and got a photo with Flea 1 and Flea 2... say cheese! And now the costumes are gone.

We Are Cancer Free!

I wonder... is it appropriate to throw a party for a benign fibroplasia? Taylor's results are in and we continue to be cancer free! Three cheers!! Now we just need to continue the healing so we can get back to the running and playing. :)

A Day of Recovery

Today was a day of rest, rest and more rest! With the exception of trying to move the barricade boxes with this mind, Taylor slept most of the day. Our furry patient has seemed more worried about his mouth than his leg. I guess this a good thing! We have a check up on Thursday. I'm crossing my fingers we will have preliminary lab results by then.

Andre got to visit the eye doctor to measure his eye pressure and check his tear production. Great news on the pressures... Tear production still down. Oh well, life wouldn't be fun without a challenge!

Tonight we are going to kick back. I'm going to wrap up my strategic marketing class and we are all going to get a good nights sleep! :)

The Healing Continues

It almost feels like a bit of deja vu today! Taylor is now at home recovering from a teeth cleaning and lump removal. he has finally settled down and stopped fighting the painkillers.

Today, Taylor had a minor tooth extraction.. never a dull moment... in addition to his lump surgery. This time his lump removal incision is only a couple of inches, much smaller and easier to handle this time around. It's wrapped up in super cute bandages, in a couple days we'll go for a check-up and eventually a stitch removal. Dr. Burns was encouraged by its size, so I'll keep my hopes high!

Tonight we all hope to get a good night's rest. In the mean time, we will wait for the most test results. Positive thinking!! :)





Somebody enjoyed a quiet day! :)

Expect the Unexpected

What a weekend! We had lots of fun putting up our Halloween decorations and getting things done around home. It was a perfect weekend and I was reminded often, just how much i love my boys.. all three of them! :)

I needed a relaxing this weekend after our Friday...

Friday, was a tough day... Jim showed me where he had found a lump on Taylor's front right leg. This is exactly why I have been dreading for the last year. Now, we don't know yet is his cancer has returned, but I have spent the weekend preparing for the worst.

So, what is next? Well, he was scheduled to go in for a teeth cleaning next Monday. So, we are just going to have the lump surgically removed while he is already napping from the cleaning. Then they will send the mass for testing and we wait. Arg, the waiting. The one part I'm just not good at. So for the next week, we'll smile, laugh and I'll try not to worry about him... I keep reminding myself how tough our Taylor is and it will all workout... no matter what the future holds.

So today we will enjoy the little things and smile at the memories we create! :) Here's a peek at our fun weekend.

You can't hide from this camera!



Knock, knock... Whose there?






A rainy fall day. :)

Taylor vs. Iron

I had a surprise waiting for me tonight... I guess Taylor didn't want me to iron anymore this week! :) Oh well, these are the days I just smile. I was reminded lately how lucky we are to have him. He can chew my iron anytime (laughing).
