A Day at the Beach

On Saturday we decided to take a ride to the beach. Buster enjoyed it very much, he pretty much had the whole beach to himself. It was nice to let him off the leash and let him do his thing. He was even trying to stalk some seagulls in the sea grass... The fresh air and sunshine was the best medicine for us. My only concern for him was perhaps cutting his paw on the shells scattered all over the beach, but it never happened. It was a bit chilly for the us humans, but for a husky he enjoyed it!

Later on, he was thoroughly exhausted. I think the ocean air really stirs the appetite and for some reason a good snooze. By later afternoon we called it a day. I have been meaning to take him to the beach for some time, now. I am glad to be able to cross it off of our bucket list :)

What's next? ... at this time, we are taking it day by day.

PS... It's been 3 months since his diagnoses of lung mets....

Considering at the time, they told me had 3 weeks to live, this is a milestone!

Husky Winter Weather

It's been awhile... the past couple of days have really been like a winter wonderland just for my Buster. He's been enjoying every minute of it. Since the night of the snowfall he's been outside constantly. He loves it.... I've even seen him eat some snow! It's been a couple of years since we have had so much snow. Mother Nature has really out done herself. We never would of thought that for March we would start off with such a blanket of white stuff for Buster to curl up on. It's a real treat to say the least.

Just a quick update: Buster has just started to cough more often. Initially, after just drinking water.. so I'm keeping a close eye on him. Otherwise he is doing really well. The doctors originally only gave him 3 weeks in mid December. Everyday I am amazed, each morning he wakes up so happy and full of life. You would never know he was sick with cancer. It goes to show that a will to live is a vital ingredient in living with cancer. We refuse to give it any more energy than it deserves. We choose to focus on the living and enjoy each and every day. We hope you do the same.
