August was just kind of a blur. And I’m not sure if it’s because so much went on or it was just one of those non-event months. Raven went onto oral chemotherapy tablets that I could administer. Not many lymphoma dogs had been on this treatment because A. No more than ten dogs had reached …

July – that’s it…half of 2009 is OVER
July was the month that saw Raven compete in her last trial ever. At the Cloverdale trial she had a play in both the Masters Jumping and Masters Agility class and she looked good. We didn’t get a clear – I think in the back of my mind I had this feeling that this would …
Happy Birthday Raven!
Been back in Perth nearly a week now and have finally found the time to update my blog. I forewarn of much euphoric happiness in this post because yes, our trip was just that good. Better even than the Victorian Nationals last year (Even better than winning three events and making three finals!). We left …
Your Quarterly update (looks shamefaced…briefly)
Hmmm. September 21st was the last update. That’s over three months ago now. There’s an awful lot of news to update on. My brain hurts just thinking about it all. I’d love to just give a dot point list but I just know that my particular brand of OCD runs to actually writing way more …

All Clear
This was one happy Raven owner yesterday afternoon when I took Raven for her second blood test after the marrow transfer on the 5th of this month. Last week there wasn’t any movement in her white blood cell count and that was to be expected. This week Ken anticipated that the marrow should have kicked …
Raven Update!
So it has now been ten days since the marrow transfer. We haven’t been incident free unfortunately but by the same token the incidents have all been manageable.Raven is doing ok. Today has been an off day for her. It’s odd she kept her dinner down all night and then for some reason the food …
Stages of a Canine Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant – An Owner’s Perspective
Autologous meaning that the marrow is provided by the patient not a close relative. These are the only BMT’s that Murdoch Vet Oncology do so there was no debate really about which approach to take. Stage 1 Tuesday May the 27th. Raven goes in for what Dr Ken Wyatt described as the biggest stage for …

Of Agility Champions, Bone Marrow Transplants and Puppies
Wow. You know it’s been a long time between updates when you have to check back on your blog to remember what you last wrote about. Things have been busy I must admit. So trialling update first: Saturday April 27th was the Southern River Dog Club Trial – Spryte did three cracking good runs, going …
