But at the moment the cancer seems slowed (she's on permanent Feldene), and bar the occasional bladder infection and blood, seems pretty happy. Mind you, with our house over three storeys and with her arthritic hips, happiness also seems to come from being carried up flights of stairs or helped onto lounges or beds. 
And cheeky-bugger Oscar-dog (12.5yo) is learning the trick of being carried too. |
You're a good man, Marc, and a loving owner. May Maggie-dog's twilight years be as comfortable and as happy as possible.

Blame it on our goofy forebears who got in into their skulls that walking upright was somehow a
good idea.
