Hi Guys, sorry I haven't posted an update on Rocky for a while... but I didn't want to jinx anything
Some of you might have noticed I changed his diet about 6 weeks ago to home cooked food, because I thought he was losing too much weight, and I just didn't feel RAW was right. He was having down days, wasn't as energetic and although I put that down to the cancer to begin with, I had a feeling it might have been the raw diet too, so changed it.
Seems it was a good decision as he's been doing great since - no more down days! He's pretty much his old self again - although he still gets tired quicker but not like what it was. However one big plus is he now LOVES his food again, in fact, it puts a spring in his step when it's food time - which is lovely to see. (I still think going RAW for a while was good mind - as it helped 'reprogram' his genes in a way - and did seem to stop the tumour from growing so quickly).
I've also cut his walks down to one a day as I think two was a bit much for him, although still take him for two every now and then if I feel like he needs or can handle it.
He's also become an expert in human manipulation LOL he sleeps on my bed, and he just whines and whimpers until I get on the bed with him and give him a cuddle! He's so crafty
and so sweet there's no way I can not. Of course this means he knows he can get what he wants so does it quite often - the little devil! I've actually bought a new PS3 game so I can sit on the bed with him just to keep him happy
of course I'm enjoying it too - haven't played on the PS3 for about a year!
Anyway, just wanted to post a 'nice' update - I know the clock is ticking and future updates may not be as good news.
Thanks to all of you for your support, and for just being there for us
