Gavin's Never Ending Dotage (Part 2)

[Sharon7]

Hope your mom's chemo goes OK and she can tolerate it. It's a tough thing to go through at any age. Hugs to you and Gavin, the Super Senior Sheltie.

her port was put in this morning. she wanted to come home to let the dog out (Gavin is NOT spoiled by his grandma). chemo in an hour. fingers crossed

 

[Sharon7]

Sending best wishes to you and your mom for minimal discomfort.

 

[Piper's mom]

Fingers crossed that your mom does good with the chemo and isn’t too sick. I’m so happy Gavin is getting on so well!

 

[Cindy]

so far so good. Mom was just really tired last night and a bit confused. she had some neuropathy as well. will be taking lots of notes in the chemo journal. Gavin is still sleeping....he's not a morning dog!

 

[Ron Atkinson]

Sounds like Gavin is good medicine for your mom. It will help if he gives her a purpose.
I hope her chemo goes well and everyone is able to get some rest.

Every time I read about forum shelties going to the rainbow bridge (some older pups, some so young I cry), I give Gavin a hug and a kiss on his snout. I know nothing I have done makes me deserve to have him still with me, but I am grateful nonetheless.

(today Mom was constipated-nausea meds with the chemo can do this- and she took 3 dulcolax pills. she will NEVER do that again)

3 Dulcolax….oh no!
I know what you mean Cindy…this has been a very emotional time for all of us. I’ve been hugging my dogs extra hard the past 2 days!
Last night after I turned off the lights I called Finnie over to cuddle. As I was patting him I was feeling him and thought this feels like him…then I had to open my iPad for a second and from the light I see it’s not Finnie but Blueberry! She’s not as much of a cuddler but they are very empathetic. I was laughing out loud because I was sure it was Finnie

so gavin loves the yard. he might not want to leave with me!
