Thanks Karen for sharing your beautiful moments with Cody with us. I can just picture the two of you "spooning.." I hope Cody is having a good day home with Grammie. And I'm sure he'll be so happy to see his Mommy when you get home. Sending you all my love and prayers.

Hi..needless to say, if I had wings, I would have flown home! Two updates w/mom today were good . The very second I walked in the door and was greeted by my boy, wagging tail and squeeky in mouth, I burst into uncontrollable sobs of happiness and thoughts of an uncertain future.... He was starved and ate all of dinner! Did his outdoor duties.. and it looked to me like his leg is less swollen. Mom noticed it too. He has less problem sitting, laying down and getting up. My concern now is the discoloration (deep purple) around his genitals and uretha. I took a urine sample and just dropped it off at the vet. I don't recall anyone taking a sample. Mom and I are now in a denial stage. He is so normal today, compared with the last few days. I hope it's not the calm before the storm. I'm going to call the U of Penna Vet Hospital tomorrow and set up a 2nd opinion appt with an internist. My best friend's sister in law, who is a tech at my vet, saw me tonight and being an experienced animal person, also is skepical, tho of course it's her opinion. She said it was fluid in the leg obviously, but like us, is curious to find out WHERE the cancer originated. That's the part I can't stand. The not knowing. Stomach and Liver were ruled out. Anyway, I'm desperate I guess. I'd do the same thing with any human. Maybe I need to be hit over the head. But I know every morsel of that dog. I'm just the kind of person who needs an answer and details, then I can accept it. I said a prayer driving home that all your prayers have helped, and that maybe God took a second out from his busy schedule, especially thanks to Phred's "in" to maybe answer our prayers. I know things happen for a reason, but I'm still in another world. I'd never cope without all of you. I love you all. Thanks again. Here's praying for an uneventful weekend...xoxoxoxox

Glad to hear Cody is doing better today. We'll keeping praying that you have a wonderful weekend together and that the internist will have a better prognosis. Give Cody a big hug for us!

This is good news and I'm still praying for a miracle. Keep us posted on Cody's progress. In the meantime, have a good weekend and absorb all the Cody you can! He'll be just as happy about it as you will - you know he loves you just as much as you love him.

So glad to hear of some improvement. I'm glad you are going to the University. I hope you can get some answers there. Maybe there is a protocol that can help dear Cody. You are constantly on my mind and in my prayers. I hope you both have a good weekend. Hang in there. {{{hugs}}}
