Smokie is still here, plugging along with the tumor, stretching her little face---but while given weeks to live, she is quickly approaching 2 months since diagnosis. She drools a lot, but she still eats, and continues to pee & poo as always. Thank God it's not a systemic thing, where I'd have to watch her suffer. She still has her personality, just sleeps more, and has less patience for me, Duncan :o). If she hadn't lost weight & looked different, you'd never know she was sick. I don't have to worry about her liver, or her tummy, or her kidneys---just hoping the tumor stays out of her lungs! It's in her jaw, I can feel it, and can't be removed. But she even eats dry food now & then, still eats as many treats as she can get! Go Smokie!

You know when I say my prayers for my little Lana and her cancer,I always include Smokie, too. These girls are tough little cookies, aren't they?
