sheepie sighting!

I took Chum to the vet hospital for a follow up appointment regarding the problems she is having with her mobility and while I was there, I met a very nice couple who were waiting on bloodwork for their sheepie boy Murray. Apparently, Murry has osteosarcoma and had his front left leg amputated. They are now following up with chemo. Since I'd heard so much about Murray, I waited around a bit to meet him -- what a handsome boy! He has a face like Maggie (grey over the left eye and grey and white ears) and his body reminded me, for whatever reason, of Tasker. Tall and strong with a short fuzzy coat. He is so cute!! He was all smiles and wiggles. He was amazing as a tripod. You wouldn't even have noticed that he was missing a leg. As we left, I even saw him hop into the car with more bounce than even Maggie. I gave them the address for the forum and I am hoping they will join. . .

As for Chum, the docs are puzzled once again as to what could be causing her strange and varied symptoms -- apparently, the multiple areas and the waxing and waning are all very unusual. The way they talk about it is like an episode of House. I will find out later whether I am picking her up or leaving her overnight for more tests tomorrow.

I dunno! ?
Are you home, Val?
Yes! In Philly. Although I am about to run out to the corner market, but I assume that's not what you mean. :D
Poor Chummie, it seems like SOMEONE should come up with a definative diagnosis!!!!!!

I hope we hear from Murray :lol:

How are your relocation plans progerssing????
I hope they figure something out. Murray's mom gave me her email address so I will remind her. She has another sheepie at home, older I think. Murray is 6.

The vet is keeping Chum overnight for more tests tomorrow. . .
:( hugs for you and Chummie!
Thanks. :)
Thinking of you and chum, hope they can solve what is going on.

Wonderful remarkable Murray, sounds like an amazing boy, hope they do join and tell us more about him. Sounds like he is such a sweetie. :D
I hope we get to meet Murray, too. :P

I am so hopeful for Chumley to get a definitive diagnosis so they can prescribe a course of treatment for her and she can get better. It's so odd how her symptoms just come & go. Wonder if there is a "Dr. House" vet? :?
