I'm glad you have a wonderful vet working with you. I can only imagine how devastated you must have been when you first heard the news. Like I said before, you have so much going on with a new puppy, who would ever think of a cancer.

I have a friend who had a dog (can't remember what kind) who got sick with cancer. At the time, I had never had a dog (except for strays my dad would find abandoned where he worked in the projects when we were growing up. When she said she was taking her dog for chemo, I remember thinking, "She has really gone over the edge. Chemo for a dog?"

Well, now that I have had two dogs (Cinni, RIP 8/09,) and since I got Charlie as a puppy, I can certainly understand. I would do everything I could for Charlie (and I did for Cinni, though she didn't have cancer.) They so become part of our family. And I think it's different with these Yorkies, at least with me. There was something about Charlie, before I had even seen a picture, that I just "knew" he was for us.

I'll keep Ruby and your family in our prayers that she continues to do well.
