He swallowed one this morning. Great job!

4 months has passed since Pompom started Chemotherapy. This morning, after the walk, he jumped of from my car at the office parking and run to the front door of my office. He is doing great. I hope we can keep him this healthy as long as we can.

I think Tiny and Nano are with us giving Pompom more energy.

Day 122

We started in-house chemo drug this morning. Unlike some dogs, Pompom does not like to eat much, so giving him a drug is a work. I think he took on ethos morning (fingers crossed).

Otherwise, he show less problem with breathing. That is a good sign. I have to give him a steroid pill ... this is a very hard task.

Pompom is recovering from chemo ... he has very small appetite. Because of that, I have a very hard time giving him a steroid pill. This morning I gave him croissant and hid a pill inside. He swallowed it without knowing there was a pill. I am not that lucky most of the time.

It was really cold this morning. 1/3 around the park, Pompom decided to go back. I had to run to catch him. I think I had my excersise this morning.

This morning after the walk.
Rain stopped while we were walking.

Pompom is recovering from the chemo he had yesterday. He still do no have much of an appetite this morning. He also does not like the steroid medication. His breathing is better (not 100%) and he can sleep well.

Tiny and Nano are with us. I have to prepare something frothier breakfast.

Day 119

We finished today's chemo at 8:00 in the morning. To get to Tacoma by 8:00, we have to leave my house before 7:00. On top of that, the daylight saving hours has started ... I am very sleepy today.

Pompom still have enlarged lymph nodes but his airway has opened up little more. This is the reason why he is breathing better. To help him, we are starting target dose of steroid. I hope this helps. We also need to tackle his lymphoma.

Pompom woke up twice middle of the night to cough but otherwise he slept soundly. I am not a doctor but it is amazing how he has recovered ... I hope we can keep him this way as long as we can.

Mayumi's business trip starts today. So, Tiny and Nano will be with me starting today for a week. Pompom will have another chemo tomorrow morning.

Pompom is smiling and running.
I hope to see more of this.

When Pompom is sick, he does not move very much or eat or drink much. But when he gets little better, he moves a lot and eats and drinks. Today, he is feeling well. He was even running at the park.

It is so easy to understand how Pompom is feeling. I am so happy when he is happy. But human emotions are different. It is not the only physical things that affects our mood. We often say thing that we do not mean and regret later. We act fine when we are not.

I think I have a lot to learn from our little family.

After the chemo yesterday, Pompom has been eating more and going to the bathroom (outside) more. He started to cough little more in the middle of the night which is always a worry. EW are at the office now and he is resting comfortably. I really hope he is getting better.

I really thank you for all your kind messages toward Pompom. He is hanging in there.
