The Bella Report

One week after radiation Bella is doing so well!

She is still limping a little bit, but it is truly incredible to see how much the radiation therapy has helped to ease her pain. I have to admit I was somewhat suspect of the procedure. But really, there is a noticeable difference.  I am very grateful to  Dr. Lyons at The Veterinary Cancer Group.

Bella, February 2009

Bella

Today Bella insisted on walking all the way around the block, tried to chase some pigeons and somehow convinced my boyfriend to feed her an extra meal.  Bella was already a master at giving that puppy dog look. But now she’s upped her manipulation game; adding to her repertoire with a new look that somehow screams, but Mom,  I have cancer… you can’t not give me that treat, that spot on the couch, that spot on the bed, that last piece of your bagel, a little bite of your chicken, and so on and so and so on. But of course, I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive.  Now go on and spoil your dog  like I spoil Bella. That way I won’t feel as though I’m the biggest pushover dog mom I know. 

P.S. Isnt’ this the greatest picture of me and girl? My friend Kristin Chalmers took it. She lives in Boston now and she is an amazing photographer. So if you live there check her out at http://www.kristinchalmersphoto.com/.

Have a Great Weekend!
