Barkley ❤️

It’s been a while since we’ve given an update. Good news is Barkley got her bounce back! So good to see the twinkle in her eye and her smile. She goes up and down steps, eats like a champ, plays with her toys, greets you with a prize when we come home…. so grateful! She did start chemo this last week. Didn’t seem to faze her too much. Hope that’s the same the next treatment.

It’s been a good day! We got the drains out and that really seemed to make a difference. No crying and more eating, tail wagging, and “walking” (hopping). She got back to some old favorite routines and spots to rest… her perch by my desk and her “couch” by the window so she can watch her little corner of the world. Makes my heart happy. ❤ 

Barkley insisted on spending some time on the deck today. Couldn’t say no!

Day 5 of Barkley the wonder doodles life as a 3-legged doodle! It’s been up and down, but throughout it all she’s showing us that she’s still Barkley — our sweet, perfect pup. On the upside, she’s gotten the hang of hopping on her front leg; on the downside, she’s having some nerve pain, which is heartbreaking. She’ll seem to be okay and comfortable, then let out a piercing cry. Soon after, though, she’ll be wagging her tail. Last night she finally devoured a bowl of food. Today lots of resting. Love her soooo much and hoping everyday she’s one day closer to her completely happy, loving self. #cancersucks
