Sasha went to North Carolina State’s veterinary school on Thursday (04/04/13) for her second round of palliative radiation, and her first round of Pamidronate.

We brought her home on the 15th and […]

When […]

That is the question, or rather, a point of contention between Liliana and me for the past several months. OK fine, if I am to be 100% honest, both Liliana and I baby Sasha. We’ve always treated our dogs very good, lathered them with praise when they do something special, and talk to them as […]

Monday, November 19, Sasha went in for her first bi-monthly post vaccine follow up at NC State Vet School. Carlos and I were anxious to hear the results of Dr. Hauck’s evaluation of Sasha. The last time Sasha was at NC State, radiographs of her chest revealed a nodule that was of some concern […]
