So Banjo the dog is in full (if temporary) remission and is in excellent shape at the moment. I took her to cancer treatment while her mom was away for the holidays and that was pretty horrible as the dog knows full well she's gonna be held down. They give her increasing levels of tranquilizers to keep her under wraps but she freaks out once the muzzle is on. Recovery starts as soon as she walks out of the vet's door though and the doctors there are very very nice and gentle. So she's got two a week of that for the next three weeks. The tumors have receded drastically and she has a lot more energy. I spent three days with her around the house, napping and taking long walks in prospect park. it's the best holiday gift i coulda asked for.

She had a good run. Ex took her into the vet and they say she's got liquid built up around her lungs and that it can be drained but is likely just going to come back. They're discussing putting her down now and I'm being told I need to come out to Jersey to see her as she might not be here when i get back. It was a gift to have her a bit longer.

sorry to hear that, forks. I hope she was able to enjoy life up until this recent setback — it's a credit to your care for her that she was able to survive for so long after such a dire prognosis.

just spent three hours with the dog with my ex and my current girlfriend and there was a lot of crying and goodwill. i took her for our last walk together, did a lot of hugs. she's still just fine to the eye but her breathing is labored and it's going to get worse soon.she's gonna put her down over the weekend and do it at the house among friends. i feel fairly wrecked.good luck with this mookie.
