I was thinking lately that it's been a while since I have really thought about Oakley. I have been SOOO busy with work - working 10 hr days, sometimes 11 hrs; my mind has been focused on other things. Looking through his pictures make me smile, but also makes me very sad. I don't think the hurt will ever really go away.
Our new puppy was born on August 13th. John and I are very excited to welcome him into our family and love him just as fiercely as we did Oakley, and how we do with Maya. I know he will be so much different, but we are looking forward to the happiness and energy a young dog will bring to our lives, and of course the love, and to see what kind of dog he grows up to be.
Thinking of you, Oaks!!
This is a blog created to chronicle my dog Oakley's fight against nasal adenocarcinoma. I am hoping that this blog will help others whose own dogs may be afflicted by this cancer and to see firsthand what it is like to put their dog through curative intent radiation therapy should they want to pursue the same treatment.
Oakley
My boy!
