Looks like my cancer is on the mend, Hoping to get my dog back soon.

Because I had a metastatic brain cancer, I had to ask a friend to care for my dog for me while I went through treatments. During this time, whenever I am not too week, we've done weekly visits with Snowy, my white GSD. This last week, my cancer markers came back negative!!!!

While the oncologists refuse to say I'm in remission yet, this was a very positive sign.

I hope to get my dog back soon, though we'll have to do it in gradual phases to make sure I can handle it without injuring myself. However, while he is a handful with other people, I've noticed how gentle he is with me during this time.

He's also gentle with my elderly mom, and during our visits, when I've had the energy, I've taught him 3 new tricks. So now he's up to 13 tricks he can do on command - from sit, stay, come, in your crate, etc. to spin left and spin right. He is always super eager to please me when we are together.

I am feeling very motivated to heal quickly so I can have my dog back with me again.
