7th Chemo

This session turned out to be pretty uneventful really which is a blessing. Yogi was a bit louder than he has been, but they gave him a plate of food that seemed to do the trick.
All went smoothly and he was home by 12.30.
As always on chemo day, his appetite increases by about 1000% then decreases slightly for the rest of the week. Sometimes I can't believe that his little tummy can hold that amount of food.
We have just been for our sprint round the village and now I am pretty frozen. I think a long soak in the bath is the order of the day. Larry and Yogi insist on this being a group activity so it's not always the most relaxing of persuits. Larry likes to chase every splash and ripple obsessively as collies do, Yogi likes to watch Larry as if to say "what the hell do you find so interesting?". It makes me laugh though. Showers are even more fun for Larry. Then he excells himself and does the shower dance with the bath mat ;o)

The mind boggles over this one! Tell me they aren't in the bath with you............

Joking apart, I've broken off from decorating the tree just to let you know I am thinking of you and your Mum today. I am WILLING her to do well from this operation. She has to.

It was good to know Yogi is responding in such a positive way once again to his treatment. Is he opening his mouth yet as you approach to check his gums?
Big Hugs and Loves.

Hi Lesley, no not QUITE in the bath, but nearly :o) Larry is completely obsessed by water and although Yogi loves to swim, he doesn;t have the urgent need to play with it like Larry does. Larry like to watch. I guess it's like someone watching the flames of a fire, completely fixated with it. He loves the sound of it too. That's what makes him do the shower dance with the bath mat. He chases the rivulets of water as they run down. He does almost dance with it. Like a matador holding his red cape - except it's a blue bath mat :o)Makes me laugh every morning.
Thank you so much for your good wishes and thoughts - they WILL and DO help xxx
