Da Momster will takes over now....we busy!
Well, DaWeenies and the rest of them are all having fun with their presents so I guess I'll take over from here.
Tucker went in for his fourth chemo treatment on Friday. They also took new x-rays to see what the tumor was doing. Unfortunately, the news isn't too good.
The primary tumor is a little bit smaller...that's the only good news. The bad news is that there are numerous smaller tumors beginning to form throughout his lungs. The oncologist who is treating Tucker said the only option was to change the chemo drug and see if we get better results. This drug would be given every 3 weeks instead of weekly.
We decided to go ahead and give it a try. It was either that or just give up and I'm not ready for that just yet. So Tucker received the first dose of the new drug on Friday.
Things are looking pretty bad at the moment. Even though Tucker seems to be breathing a lot easier now, he has stopped eating and is going downhill rapidly. The reason for this could be one of two things. The tumor has taken over and we are now looking at the end getting that much closer...OR...the change of the chemo drug has made him sick. I'll be discussing this with the oncologist this afternoon. In the meantime, Tucker is comfortable and sleeping most of the time. He is drinking lots of water so that much is in his favor. He hasn't eaten anything since Saturday morning and seems like he's losing a lot of weight.
Please keep him in your prayers no matter what the outcome of this turns out to be. I keep hoping he'll suddenly wake up and be hungry again but in the back of my mind, I know this probably won't happen.
I want to thank everyone for their kindness and support and a special thank you to the Crossed Paws Group. The pictures I got of Tucker the day he received his wonderful gifts may very well turn out to be the very last pictures I'll ever have of Tucker enjoying life.
Hugs and Love to All...

Poor Tucker - we will keep crossing our paws for him and hope that it is just the new meds doing their work that is making him feel so poorly.
That was so very nice of that special group to do for him. There really are some of the nicest peeps and pups and other furries out there.

There are two day in every week we should not worry about Yesterday and Tomorrow! This leaves only one day – today. Live one day at a time ~ You have The Crossed Paws Gang and me to saying prayers.

The Big Bad C just stinks! We has seened furstpaw wot Tucker be going thru but he be so lucky to be with a famblee wot lubs him. We has takened dogs out of the shelter with the Big Bad C coz their peeples had dumped them there coz they did not want to deal with it (can you beleef that, grrrrr) and the dogs stayed with us fur their lastest days so they had at least some lubbins in the end. But seeing Tucker with his noms and toys and BBQ SKWERREL, OMD just warmed my heart!
What a wonderful package from the group. Obviously, they all had fun with the contents, especially Tucker. These will be photos and videos to treasure but we hope Tucker will have more time for fun with the pack.
Awesome presents! You take care, my friend!
Woof! Woof! Happy WOWie Monday! Sending you Lots of Golden LOVE. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Our paws are crossed for Tucker - to be comfortable and pain-free, one day at a time. We love you guys!

What wonderful pups to send Tucker such a thoughtful pick-me-up...and it did! Please know Sweet Boy, that we send our most powerful White Dog positive energy to keep you strong and painfree and aware of how much you are loved. It is our hope that the lack of hunger is from the chemo making you feel icky and that the vet can prescribe something to make your appetite return. Woos of comfort and care to all.
We are all so glad that Tucker enjoyed his package!!
I am sad to hear he is not feeling so good right now......he has been on our mind ALOT lately.....
Here's hoping for some improvement......hope da new meds help!! Hang in there Tucker
Love and hugs,

Your pal, Pip
I heard about Tucker on one of the blogs and wanted to come over to send purrs and purrayers from Chloe and Cecil.
Also sending tail wags and healing licks from Winston.
All paws are crossed and I will keep you in my prayers!

We were gone from Blogville for a little bit and had no idea of the ugly 'C's attack on Tucker.
We have crossed all paws here and are sending comfort vibes his way.
What a great package the Crossed Paws Group sent and how wonderful that Tucker is enjoying his pressies.
The whole Bean Pack: Butter, Sugar, Hannibal and Uncle Fred
Hope Tucker is feeling better...glad that the toys cheered him up a bit. Prayers are being said for you all. xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
As Mom to a very special Tucker myself, just seeing the words Tucker and tumor and oncologist together in the same sentence was enough to give me a pit in my stomach, so I can only imagine how YOU must be feeling. Please know that you and Tucker will both be in our thoughts and we'll be crossing paws and purring for him to fight through this. Meanwhile, it is lovely to see such beautiful pictures of him having such a fun time investigating all his presents. He clearly knows how to live life to the fullest no matter what, and that's a lesson to all of us.
Hugs to you.
Please know we're thinking of Tucker and have our paws (and fingers, toes, etc) crossed for Tucker!
~Milly, Shelby, and the Mom
You're so lucky! Those squirrels look so good! I'm so sorry to hear about Tucker, I'll be thinking of him. Please enjoy your time with him and show him lots of love.
So sorry to hear about Tucker's health. We will keep him and you in our prayers.
What a super pressie package. You have wonderful blog furiends :)
Wyatt, Stanzie and Mom
Paws crossed that adorable little Tucker bounces back! You all are in our thoughts. Looks like he got a super nice surprise pressie package from your furiends that perked him up! Take care.
The Road Dogs
Aww, Tucker! We sure hope this new chemo drug helps out and that it is what is causing you to lose your appetite, and not something more sinister. You got some wonderful presents in the mail and that was so nice of you to share with your pack!
Paws crossed for you!
Elyse and Riley
