Today was lab day for Rocky. We got that out of the way, ran a few errands and stopped at the Vet’s to pick Mandy up. She was so happy to see us she wiggled all over. She was very happy to be on her way home again and has been a big girl about her potty…..she must have thought it all over while at the Vet’s because she’s been home three hours and so far……so good. Pa-leez, Mandy………..no more “accidents”.

Rocky is doing OK with his treatment so far and we don’t have to go back until next Wednesday when he will have another round of chemo. After that he will have a visit with Dr. Susi who is Dr. Morgan’s assistant in the oncology department. She is thorough in her assessments of each patient and takes a lot of time with each. She visited with us some when Rocky took his first chemo treatment and will head up the next one, then on the third chemo we will have a consultation with Dr. Morgan.

Of course we get anxious for results but it’s way too early to speculate on any of that. So we content ourselves with the daily necessities at home and all of our critters who are all very “needy.” The cats get a little jealous of Mandy when we speak to and “make” over her so we have to do a round robin and pet them all.

Mandy is quiet and lady-like. They complimented her at the Vet’s, saying they wished all of their patients were as well behaved. In time I know we will all bond very well together as Rocky and I like quiet pets. So far, our “free doggie” has cost us a fortune. Since she has, it’s really appreciated that she is a good girl.

The head nurse in the unit told us she would call with results of the lab workup this afternoon. If she does, I will put it in the comment section of this blog. It’s getting late in the afternoon so I don’t know if she’ll get to it or not……..

Thought for the day………
