BAD!!! A Stinker!!! Spoiled Rotten!!! LOL She's handling the chemo treatments remarkably well actually. I can't afford to do all the needed tests but if I were to guess I'd say she's already in remission!!! (KNOCK ON WOOD) She's been clear of the AIHA now for almost a year. Yup...she beat the AIHA only to get this even uglier disease. We're battling through it and to look at her you wouldn't even know there was anything wrong. 95% of the time she's sitting there staring at me with a ball in her mouth just *hoping* it's play time. She can play for long periods once again and doesn't get tired...which I thought would never happen again!!! She's got a strong will to live and she's proven that over and over again! Cnsidering the doctor who did the biopsy for me told me the best thing to do is put her down cause it wasn't treatable....yeah...just think "dumba$$ VET... she wouldn't be here with me once again! They said to enjoy the time we had left (a month maybe). LOL Gotta love proving vets wrong! I've got some pics I'll add sometime soon. Thanks for asking about her and keeping her in your thoughts. I'm sure the power of the thoughts, prayers and healing vibes are working!!! Smooches from Tessy. Johnny

Hi Johnny, Tessy is included in our prayers but I think it is your dedication that is getting her through this. Great to hear she is doing okay. Sue

Johnny, Maybe your Vets will come around eventually and use you as a consult. LOL! Glad to hear your girl is tolerating everything so well. Canine kisses from California Penny

Johnny, You are amazing! Tessy is so fortunate to have you by her side. But then I guess you feel pretty lucky to have her.... She probably sensed that you need her to stay around after you just lost Sadie. Best wishes and poodle hugs from the other side of the country, Brigitte & the poodle boys

Hi Johnny, I just love coming on this forum and reading GOOD news. Yeah for Tessie!!!! I am so happy for you Johnny. You have had more than your share of hard luck with your puppies over the past year. Your dogs are very lucky indeed, to have such a dedicated owner. You were so helpful and supportive when Mercedes was struggling and we appreciate that so much!! We think of you often and are sending all the positive vibes we can, to you and Tessie. Keep us updated!! Warm Wishes from: Maureen and Mercedes

Hey there, I came here looking for news on Tessy also, and Im pleased that so far it is good news! That Tessy is an inspiration to us all just like debbie said - maybe it has something to do with her owner. ;) Johnny, did I ever thank you for all your good help and advice with Riley? If I didnt then, then I thank you now. Silka
