Sequoia was diagnosed with cancer in July. We didn't think she would live more than a month, but here we are in September, and she is doing 'OK' still. She is still pretty skinny, and has a hard time walking at times, but some of the symptoms she was having then have cleared up. Dogs her size have an average lifespan of 8-10 years, so for the past several years we wondered if she would make it to her next birthday....so we are amazed and happy that she has made it to her 13th birthday! Although, we do feel this one will most likely be her last. We can tell that she still 'feels' like she is a young dog, and it must be really frustrating for her when she has a hard time climbing the stairs or when she falls on the hard wood floor. Anyway, we are pretty happy she made it to her 13th birthday, and will cherish the short time we have left with her. Happy Birthday Sequoia, we love you!

Oh wow! She is such a pretty dog. I am glad she made it to her 13th birthday & it doesn't sound like she is suffering too much yet. It is good she has loving owners like you guys!
