All went well last week (week 4), even though it was a new chemo in Beau’s regimen. His doctors have now swapped out the old week 4 medication for a new one, as there’s a lifetime limit of 5 doses on the prior one.

So, other than Beau being so scared when we arrive at South Paws in the morning, he was bouncing and happy when I picked him up later in the day. Over the weekend, we took him to his regular vet for a blood test, but I’m pretty confident that will be ok -- he’s been energetic and happy all week.

In the meantime, we discovered that Beau and Maggie really enjoy romping through the woods behind our house. We’ve been walking them off lead, like they enjoy on the beach at OBX, around some of the walking trails in our woods. They absolutely love it, and seem to walk quicker and more vigorously than they’ve ever done walking the sidewalks around our neighborhood. (Who knew?)

Perhaps Beau thinks the woods smell like the leaf piles in Lancaster that he enjoyed so much.

Cheers,

Ken
