Fighter

It's official, our little hot headed Chihuhua is truly a fighter. He's absolutely incredible. He went through a couple of days of not wanting to eat solids, but since then, in addition to the tubes my parents feed him, he's been eating again.

On Thursday, my parents brought him to the vet for a follow-up checkup since his diagnosis of lung cancer. After checking the latest x-ray, the vet, to his own surprise, happily announced that the cancer looks like it's in remission. Yes ladies and gents, Bubbles' cancer has not spread. And the lump is shrinking. All the water is gone from his lungs. Though he is tired, and my parent still have to tube feed him three times a day, his little body is fighting this cancer.

I feel like dancing in the street and cheering.
