I enjoy reading and finding motivation images/thoughts/stories, etc. They are inspirational, can make a person happier or uplift one’s mood. I missed posting my “Thursday Motivation” posts, and because they always make me feel better – even when I’m not feeling blue – I decided to start the posts back up! For the re-start of […]
A few weeks ago, we took Sasha and Argus swimming. They both love the water, but their experience has been in lakes, creeks, and the ocean. With Sasha now being a tripawd, and Argus’ arthritis, they cannot handle the distance to get to our outdoor swimming spots. So, after posting questions on City Data and […]
It was an overcast day. The clouds were low and gray. A few rays of sunlight found their way through the water-saturated air. The light was the sort that makes photographers get excited. The green trees, purple flowers and sandy ornamental grass seemed to glow with a vibrant saturation. We expected Sasha to tremble in […]
Katie was a sweet dog. She was all heart and full of love, but somehow, found herself alone, without a family, and a temporary resident of a high kill shelter in Georgia. Linda told us that when Katie’s time at the shelter was up, the people there couldn’t bring themselves to euthanize the poor girl – her exceptionally sweet demeanor had won her a stay of execution. Soon after her brush […]
Back in July, we wrote about Molly. She is the 2nd dog that received the listeria vaccine in the Mason Bone Cancer Study. We have been meaning to post this for a while now, but our lives have been hectic, and Carlos and I neglected the blog a bit. Molly’s mom shared how they came […]

Sasha’s back home from The University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine after her third and final administration of ADXS-HER2 vaccine in the Mason Bone Cancer Study. Liliana and I drove up to my parent’s home in Parkesburg, PA from Raleigh, NC on Monday, August 20 (Liliana’s birthday). Many thanks to my mom and dad […]
We took Sasha to our local vet on August 8, to have some blood drawn as per Dr. Mason’s request. We took the same precautionary step a week after Sasha’s first visit to UPenn. The vaccine (ADXS-HER2) causes an elevation of liver enzymes and also affects some other values that are of concern. The blood […]
Here on Lili’s Notes, we’ve been writing about Sasha’s battle against osteosarcoma, and her progress in the Mason Bone Cancer Study at The University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine. If you’ve been following Sasha’s story, then you know that she just finished her second treatment at UPenn, where Dr. Mason administered the anti-cancer vaccine. […]
