We met with an oncologist this afternoon to get a handle on Bacchus’ prognosis. She painted a much bleaker picture than the surgeon. He indeed has lymphoma, but based on the fact that it was in an internal organ, she believes that it is probably the more difficult “T-cell” strain. The “B-cell” variety is generally [...] . . . → Read More: Lymphoma

We received word today from Dr. Stubbs that the biopsy of the tumor does indicate lymphoma. For the possible cancer types, this is the best we could have hoped for for treatment. The company that does the biopsy wants to do further special staining which will hopefully help us understand what chemo treatments, and how [...] . . . → Read More: Update on Bacchus I just thought we’d give everyone a quick update that Bacchus came home this afternoon. He’s doing great – maybe too great. He’s probably too energetic and enthusiastic for his own good right now. It is terrific to see him acting this lively. We just hope we can keep him calm enough not to disturb [...] . . . → Read More: He’s Home We just got back from visiting Bacchus. The surgery went as well as we could have hoped. The doctor was able to remove the mass and resect the section of intestine. We were fortunate in that the mass was basically in the middle of the small bowel, where surgery is relatively simple.

We all drove up to camp, which is about an hour each way. The boys are still going through some separation anxiety issues, and we thought 2.5 hours would be pushing it for either of us to [...] . . . → Read More: Bacchus! Bacchus received a present from his cousins, Sulu and Nala. It is a supposedly indesctructible chew toy. The last indestructible toy he got lasted for roughly 45 minutes. So far, this one is holding up well. As you can see from the video below, he was pretty excited to open it. We’re still playing around with [...] . . . → Read More: A Very Bacchus Christmas 
Lara and I felt badly about putting Bacchus in a kenel while we were galavanting around California, so we decided to take him to the off-leash dog pond at Chatfield Reservoir. He wasn’t all that interested in the water at first. We had to coax him just to wade in. We’d try throwing sticks and [...] . . . → Read More: Let’s Go Swimming Bacchus’ first Christmas wasn’t such a happy one. . . . → Read More: Puppy’s First Christmas It seemed like such a good idea. It was our first Christmas as a “family”. We had a camera with a timer. Why not make our own family photo Christmas card? You can almost hear the clown music playing in the background… . . . → Read More: The Christmas Picture |
