HAPPY HAPPY NEWS. Caymus might not need the treatments? The 1st path report came in with clean margins, the mass was 100% removed. A 2nd test is in the works to pin-point the true type of tumor. That will give the vet a path to go. And the wound is 99% healed.
We get to have a true nights sleep. Caymus will be able to play at the beach next week, he loves the waves. Being a work dog, he and we can go any place with him. He can return to working with Louise next week as well. He keeps trying to help, but we have to stop him, it was very hard on him to just sit there when he knows that Louise might need help with a task. I wish I could meet you all face to face and HUG you to death, you guys are a special group people.


Is it ok for a grown man to cry?

Check please.

HURRAY!! HURRAY!! HURRAY!! This is the best news I've seen all day!! Hugs to Caymus and his parents!!

And yes, cry away. I'm doing it now, this is such wonderful news.

OMG, is it ok for a grown woman to cry? I literally have tears Jerry. That is such wonderful news! I bet Caymus has been frustrated not being able to help Louise! I say GET THOSE TICKETS TO THE SB MINI-MEET NOW! Cause to C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E

Great news! I too have tears in my eyes! You, Louise and Caymus must be smiling ear to ear, I know I am! SB is calling your name buddy......

Rosanne, what'ya say you and I do the Elaine Dance for Caymus? Throw your right arm out like a geek/dork/dweeb...throw your left arm out...lol!

Oh darn - I may have to watch that stuuupiiid movie just so I can do the Elaine dance for Caymus.... But for this good news I certainly would. (If it comes on HBO I will)

I am very relieved to hear this good news, and rejoice with you and Louise! We worry as much about our furry kids as we do our flesh kids - but love them all!

Great News....
Ok I think there has to be a Long Island mini meet...and you and Louise and Caymus have to attend.. we have room in fact you will like this.. we have room in our french neighbors home.. look up "Camus Armagnac" for the neighbors name.... needless to say we have some fine Armagnac in the neighborhood.....
..

Yippee for Caymus! I'm glad his prognosis is good.

Cynde, if Jerry and Louise come to the SB meet we will have to do the Elaine dance and the Napoleon Dynamite dance! I'll even wear a dress with really big sleeves!

Rosanne...I just spit wogga on my monitor picturing us all doing the elaine and napolean dances in really ugly big sleeved taffeta dresses...gee...my bridesmaid dresses from my first wedding looked like that..and I actually thought that the gals would like to wear them afterward...lol!

lol

No, these are puffy sleeves...


Lord forgive me...sorry Caymus for doing this to your thread...

LMAO! Sorry! At least the color was nice. (choking, holding back laugher)

Freddie, I actually kinda like that dress, for Halloween!

Jerry, that is wonderful, dude. I hope the good news sticks.
Cynde, those women REALLY love you!

Jerry, thanks for the update on Caymus. Reading your post started my day off in a good way.

Caymus is a special family member for you and Louise. It is okay to cry.

I hope you folks have an enjoyable time at the beach!

Great profile pic!

Jerry - great news lets all wish good things for Caymus.

Cheers folks, see you from the other side of cams tomorrow.

Jerry, that is amazing news.

Cyn, that looks like my sister's wedding pics. lol

Jerry, Louise & Caymus

That's the best news! So happy for all of you.
Caymus is probably saying "what's all this fuss about"? But, I think I like it! Now let's get back to the beach & the waves and get back to work

Jerry - great news!

Buenos Dias All

Way to go Caymus

BH

I'm crying here - thank you so much for the GREAT news Jerry!!
How about I make a reservation just to hold a spot for you, Louise and Caymus. I can promise you a most wonderful time
It would be the creme de la creme to meet Mr. Caymus in person, and his people too!

SUPER DUPER NEWS, JERRY! Best news I have heard in a long time! So happy for you, Louise and Caymus!
My Ginger is sending lots of wags to Caymus too!

HURRAY, HURRAY, HURRAY! That is just fantastic new Jerry. And I'll start a thread for my over the top news too. It seems the full moon has been VERY good to pet owners.

Still hugs for Caymus, Louise, and Jerry.

What a relief!!! I'm so glad you got good news. Here's a big hug and some tears of happiness from me too!

That has got to be the best news for you Jerry! I am so happy for you all. Now Caymus can stop wondering why you are so stressed out. Big doggy and people hugs from us and Rose.
Rose is recovering nicely though she still looks like "Frankendog". And I did find the culprits after driving the neighborhood for almost 2 weeks. Now I'm waiting for animal control to do their thing and then I'm going to take them to civil court to recover the vet bills (I hope).

Kris, people who allow their dogs to be vicious are kind of double criminals, I think. They hurt your little Rose, and they cause their own dogs to be confined or destroyed. What is wrong with people?
Is Rose getting any braver? I hope she's feeling more secure in her environment again.

Kris, they mend so quick. Best of luck in court.

Jerry, Dude, are you reconsidering the West Coast Thingie?

Great news on Caymus and good news Kris also. If the animal control people do their thing the court should settle your bills as part of the criminal settlement (you would hope).

We will have to see what the Vet thinks.
Boarding vs flying?
I can't use FF miles for him, so it will cost me $597.50 for his seat. I will not crate him for a six hr plane ride. So at this point it does not look good. But, we shell see?

Yay Jerry, I'm so glad to hear that! Caymus has so many people pulling for him here, that it couldn't help but end up well!

Jerry, does Caymus usually get the chicken or the beef? Or does he have a special menu request?

Jerry, don't service dogs get to ride free like seeing eye dogs??

No longer on AA.
New rules with the FAA, dogs be seated?
So one has to but a ticket.
I'm hoping that will change, some people can't afford the extra cost.

Service dogs and seeing dogs are a must for some people. The rules seem to be very GRAY with some airlines.

wow I've missed a lot here the last week or so!!

I'm really glad to hear Caymus is recovering well Jerry

Hmmm...should we start a fundraiser to get Caymus a seat to the SB meet? It just won't be the same without the wine expert and his enterogue (i know really bad spelling but I haven't had any coffee yet and am lazy...so there...lol)

The vet just faxed me the est on the cancer treatments, if Caymus had to have it done.

Are you ready, sit down, High $7,500.00
Low $5,550.00

QG, if someone from the NE is going, I would like to send out a care-package, Spam / O rings / and white merlot.

Have your coffee.

Grasshopper, I think a fundraiser is in order...
Please keep us posted on the other fundraiser project as well, if you don't mind.

Ouch, Jerry... radiation, chemo, or both??

Not needed at this point, but we shell see?

Jerry, are you sure about AA charging for service animals? Check out this link:

Service Animals on AA

Thanks Cheryl, that's how it should be. But because of the size of Caymus, he can not squeeze into a small space, lack of foot room. So a seat is needed. Fact is, have you ever seen a small service dog that could fit anyplace but a seat? The seats that do have room are emergency exits, can't sit there!
So if the flight is full, the dog is out of luck it seems? The food carts are a problem as well.

What about bulkhead?? There's more leg room and no seat in front of you? I just can't believe a service dog would have to purchase a ticket, that makes me mad!

Not all the time, some planes are set up with seats jammed in, others have spaces here and there?

No dogs on AJ, AE, and most 737's. Just no space.
FAA rules state that the isles have to be clear. A disabled person can not sit at a emergency exit (has more space). Most airline will try very hard to fit a dog in, but some flights are just not doable.
