I am in Chicago but the report from home is that Gidget now weighs 37.7 pounds. She's not quite six months. When I got Daisy who was about five to six months old, she was 26 pounds. She also had a parasite but yikes is Gidget going to be a big girl! About a week ago, it was like her legs grew in a matter of hours. I saw her standing out on the pool cover and at the same time Joe (who was looking at her out another window), and I remarked how long her legs looked. I'm attaching a few more photo of her and the others. Joe took Gidget to see the holistic vet, Dr. Wilson, yesterday because we've been having issues with Gidget eating everything in the yard and our concern for her intestinal tract. Joe talked to Dr. Wilson about how we would do things differently knowing hindsight obviously is 20-20 since Daisy died. I was thinking this morning about all the people who post on various sites how much the supplements and this or that that they gave their dog have been working. But I look back on Daisy's life and I don't think any of that would have helped even without the chemo that caused the tumor to rupture. It appears to me that Daisy's life was supposed to be short and we extended it because we thought we were trying to help her. Now I see that we should have tried to help her by keeping her comfortable and letting her go when she was ready which would have been sooner than we would have allowed. Lesson learned.
