Took Shilo for her last weekly visit. Blood work is normal and filled out the questionnaire. Met the vets and students that are doing the trial for a few minutes and got an update.
One of the dogs in the study had died. But not from cancer or the Palladia…. sad that someone’s pup is gone, but good that the cancer didn’t get them.
Now Shilo is doing monthly visits and July will be her first chest x-ray since she started the Palladia. So I’m excited to find out how my little pup is doing but scared that I might get bad news.
This was Shilo on Monday… up the hill running around like a nut. Its a cell phone pic so it doesn’t truly capture how happy she was. She was in the bush and rolling in whatever is in the bush that dogs roll in.
Oh Shilo! You are so beautiful!! And what a good “Science Dog” you are!!
Glad your bloodwork is good and you are having a great rime being dog!!!
Regardless of any ole’ upcoming tests, Shilo is feeling great and is thoroughy enjoying herself!
And my guess is she was rollng in either deer poop or bunny poop…but only after eating a few morsels first!
Kee on keeping Shilo! We are all cheering yo on! And TJ is watchingop over you too!
Hugs !!
Sally and Happy Hannah
Shilo – you look wonderful!
I’m glad you don’t have to visit your “friends” at UPenn quite so often now.
Tuck and I have our fingers and paws crossed that your xray in July!
For now – no one needs to tell you to be “more dog”.
Linda and Tucker

Congratulations on moving right along, you two are heroes! Thank you for making a difference for all dogs, that is such a generous thing to do.
And based on the way her tongue is hanging out all happy, she sure does look like she’s in bliss! What a beautiful thing.
Shilo has made quite an impression on everyone at UPenn.. she’s gained a little weight and is generally a happy pup. I was even told that she is not minding the exams as much (although I’m sure the rectal thermometer still freaks her out).
With any luck the Palladia will have the desired effect and stop/reduce the cancer from taking hold… it works really well in mast cell tumors… hoping my little pup gets the same results with the OS.
