So upset over the loss of our Scottie, Teddy, I failed to give a Brinkley update. Got this news just one day before Teddy died….such a range of emotions. Brinkley had an enlarged lymph node and his first post chemo vet visit was very scary. They did a focal ultrasound and chest x-ray and shockingly, his lymph node was back to normal and his lungs showed nothing…still no indication of where his original cancer came from. I thank God for this news and although we then lost Teddy, I am so grateful that our sweet Brinkley had good results. He doesn’t have to go back until late in June unless we notice something. He is six months past his amputation and as active and sweet as ever. He misses Teddy and we are deciding what to do as we have had a Scottie in our lives as long as we are married….too soon I guess. Don’t want to traumatize Brinkley. “Thanks for listening”!

Not about Brinkley
Teddy, our 8 year old Scottie was just fine until last week Tuesday when he wouldn’t eat…we took him to the vet the next day and they thought he had an abdominal infection and sent us home with meds and an appointment for a week. The next morning I found him dead and needless to say was extremely upset. An autopsy has revealed that he had a rapidly progressive liver cancer and could not be saved…..we have spent so much time working with Brinkley’s cancer that I am in shock. Teddy was a sweet little dog and my grief for him cannot be explained. If we lose Brinkley too, I don’t know what I will do….I really never saw anything wrong with Teddy, but my guilt for putting all my efforts I to Brinkley’s cancer is causing me incredible stress….just saying, put us in your prayers. God bless you Teddy….I love you !
