Our Lord Finnigan is back.
Breath flows more easily now. The minds turmoil has hushed, it is as I had known somewhere within … all ok.
Last Saturday Fin went for a ride to the vet for a check-up and everything looked great. We were bit nervous about his not wanting to eat and larthargic behavior and the distant look in his eyes but as soon as he was off of the Rimadyl for 40 hrs he was beginning to improve. He has been off of it for over 3 days and he is, once again, our beloved Finnigan!
No longer on the Rimadyl, I was surprised how quickly Finnigan returned. He became more alert, he started to eat and enjoy his food, he moved more readily, and he even barked at the coyotes. The best part was once again looking into his eyes and feeling a connection rather than the far off stare.
I no longer wonder did I make the right decision. As he picks up scent in the long sedge grass, wactches the muskrats swim by and barks out to the unseen, he is so full of life and seems to be loving it.

sorry about the sideways image, could not manage to get it to rotate
haha! With all his fur, it kinda looks like he only has 2 legs sticking out to the side 🙂 He is a gorgeous dog, and you must be very proud of how he’s not letting his situation get him down. Aren’t our doggies amazing?!?!? And seeing them, as you said, so full of life, is truly the best thing in the world. Kinda makes you forget the whole cancer thing for a bit 🙂

Hooray for big Fin! I bet he’s happy to be off those meds.
FYI: You would need to rotate images before uploading. The WordPress Media Library does not have such capability.
I’m so happy to hear that Fin is doing so much better!!! Keep posting updates and pictures of your beautiful boy!!!
