Clicking Mad Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 thanks a million all he's still really good within himself, though the progress of those lumps are worrying. Has anyone heard of the idea that if you have cancer and interfere with it (as in a biopsy) that it "wakes-up and goes to town" or escalates, I've heard this from a couple of people and I feel this maybe going on ... of course, there's no way to tell ... and I'm still astounded at how well he's feeling water features prominently in my favourite photos of him I've posted this one before for sure his funny pre-emptive excited play-bow and his cute bark you may have seen this one too: his barking video ... oh man, I haven't watched that in a while, it really makes me smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Mad Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 just wanted to give a bit of an update: He's still doing pretty good, still happy enough, though the little lumps have multiplied quite considerably in his leg, both on top of the biggest lump on his hock, and in new places up and down that same leg. It looks really ugly. And he has been holding it up a little more than he was a week or so ago, hopping, and ever so slightly limping on it. He's also had a recent check-up with the vets and they expect that the lumps will become nasty and ulcerate before it gets too painful into his bones, which may sound bad, but at least he's still not in any real pain, except for the very recent slight limping, he hasn't shown any signs of pain. Late last year I bought him a little red wagon so I could take him to the park with the pack, we had 1 good go, trouble with some pieces missing, then he didn't want to ride in it, then finally I gave it another shot, and he was happy to ride, so took him out early last weekend down to the park, a chance to potter around, then back in for the ride home because it was so early the light wasn't the best, but he went for a little dip in the park puddle (after the heavy rains) ~~ and just because here's a couple of favs from last month that you may have missed, hidden in the Jan Challenge thread nick-named "Texa-cocoa" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Glad the cart is working well now. Gives him a chance to explore and smell everything on the way to the park and to take things easy, he will be looking forward to his cart rides in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Mad Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 thanks heaps everyone Texas celebrated his 14th Birthday on Wednesday, I booked us all (4 pack and my mother came along) in for an hour at Kepala he loved the swimming, retrieving the wubba kong was totally exhausted by the end ... but he pulled up pretty good considering ... and they all got some juicy bones once we got home and while my mother was visiting I got her to help me out the day before for a trip to the park Mum was pulling the cart, I was holding onto Jame, Chess and Lotus, watching for traffic, other dogs etc, and ensuring he didn't sit up, and trying to click off a couple of shots! Amazed I was able to do this by myself last week (or so), it really isn't that easy the ugly mat was key to him enjoying the ride again cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
