The World's Tallest Dog

GIBSON Update: Yesterday, July 27th, GIBSON was scheduled for his third Chemo Therapy treatment. Due to a low Platelat count, his treatments have had to be rescheduled sometime in the next 7-10 days. Platelats are irregularly shaped, colorless bodies that are present in blood. Their sticky surface lets them, along with other substances, form clots to stop bleeding. Low Platelats are a pretty common side-effect when giving the Chemo Drug-Carboplatin. His platelat level IS back on the rise & returning to a good count, as we speak! Other than that GIB is in great spirits and an amazingly strong Boy. He did some therapy-dog work yesterday & went out to do fun things like getting his favorite strawberry & milkbone doggy ice creamish/yogurt treat, made especially by Lazy-Dog Ice Cream Co. (Thanks Bob & Deb). He loves going along so I can do my errands and shopping. He is an instant attraction to ALL who see him. So he gets LOTS of pets and attention from kids from 1 to 101! I am very proud announce that GIBSON has been nominated as a finalist in the AKC “Ace” Awards. (You can see his certificate on this website) Winner will be announced in August. (also go to www.akc.org for more info on these prestigious awards.) YES- I am a PROUD Mom………….(“Good-Boy” GIB!!) Also, we are speaking with a Canine Cancer Organization called PINK PAWS for LIFE, and getting involved in speaking out & addressing, specifically, Canine Bone Cancer. (We lost another friend in New Jersey this week, “SAMMI” who’s Mom, Jan & Family, are holding strong, in the loss of SAMMI’s fight with Cancer. ) I hear from people EVERYDAY who are watching their canine-kids fight this horrible disease. GIB & I are bringing an awareness to canine cancer, and this drive will only get bigger & better in the upcoming months! More Later ….. But for now, Warmest Wags – Sandy & GIB^..^
