Things are getting back to “normal” around our house. There have been no visible side effects from the chemo and his mobility is very good. He gets tired easy so we don’t do the same rigorous activities but he still wants to play with the ball. I’ve been throwing it to him and he catches it in his mouth without moving. I did throw it a pretty far distance in our yard and he ran after it. Because he was running with his head down, he tumbled forward/flipped in the soft grass but rebounded very well. I felt sorry for him – he just got up and brought me the ball with the look of “Let’s do it again”! I bought a Frisbee and hope he can get use to catching something that’s airborne instead of on the ground…. He didn’t act interested at all so this may be a waste of time.
We go Friday for the first blood test. I have a list of things/concerns to discuss with Dr. Portie but all in all, Life is Good!
I’m so glad that things are getting back to normal. You must have freaked when you saw Toby fall! Glad to hear he’s OK from the chemo so far… Good luck with the blood test tomorrow!!! I’ll be sending good thoughts your way!!

life is good indeed, but as far as that “so far” business goes … ask Toby and I bet he’d say all that matters is now. And for that Frisbee business, just be sure to throw it low so Toby doesn’t jump too high. Jerry loved playing catch, but coming down hard on his one front leg sometimes was not such a good thing.
