See this face? This is the face of a dog that kept us up until 5am this morning. This is the face of a dog that wanted to go outside every hour on the hour last night. This is the face of a dog that saw 2 bunnies in our backyard at 11pm last night and then wanted to go outside at 12am, 1am, 2am, 2:45am, 4am, and then 5am to chase.... YES CHASE those 2 rabbits.
With Max having prostate cancer, we don't question him when he needs to go out. It doesn't matter if he just came back in, if it's raining, or the middle of the night. If he says he needs to go, we go. And we don't just let him outside. We go with him. Especially since Sammy Lammington eats poop, we pick up their poop right away so there is no chemo exchanging and poop burps. 
Last night, this 10 year old dog with metastisized cancer ran faster than I have ever seen him run. He chased both bastards.... errrrr..... milk dud dropping bunnies around our yard all night. When he said he had to go out, we went out. To chase rabbits. Yep. To chase rabbits.
Today has been slow going for everyone but especially for Max. We suspect his back legs feel like ours do when we do 100 squats or lunges at the gym. Tonight, we are hoping we all get to sleep through the night. But right now, we are just thankful for our rabbit chasing boy that is living with cancer. Not dying from it. But living with it. Our boy Max.
xoxoxo,
