Sorry it has taken me so long to send in this update. We have been spending a lot of time outside. Remi LOVES finding sticks in the yard and chewing them. He sometimes even helps us with pruning by ripping a dead stick off of our landscaping. He is pretty darn cute.

Remi has been doing pretty well. This has probably been his worst week yet, but he is showing no signs of pain. He just likes to stay close to us and he does a lot of sleeping. He has been easy to care for; he just needs his meds and prescription food.

He has really bonded with our son, Seth. He was a little upset when Seth spent the night at his Grandma's house. He kept checking his room to see if he was home yet. :-)

Please enjoy the pictures of Seth and Remi having fun with the hose. Remi LOVES drinking for the hose and Seth had to check it out for himself!

Thought I would give you an update on how Remi is doing. He is still having more good days than bad days. His energy level is lower, but he certainly has his bursts of energy.

Remi likes to hang out with me and so does my son. I spend a lot of time trying to keep my son from bugging Remi while he is sleeping. I did, however, get a picture of Seth showing me Remi's nose. Remi would just open his eyes and then lick Seth's fingers.

Remi hangs out with me while I am sewing. He will lay right on my fabric scraps. Our resident dog, Ally, will still get Remi to wrestle occasionally. We most recently bought a really long stuffed toy because we heard Remi likes to play tug-of-war! It took us awhile to get Ally to participate, but we eventually got the tug-of-war started. Remi was in heaven!

This guy is also a ninja at counter-surfing. He is teaching us no food is safe on the counter and he has no shame in eating it. We had pizza one night and he quietly helped himself to a piece of pizza. I caught him in the act...but when I said his name, he just stole the pizza faster. Ha! What a turkey!

We love how spunky this guy is. So glad we are the ones who get to spend the last bit of his life with. He makes us smile and I hope we are keeping him comfortable. I am so glad it is spring so he can spend time in the yard with us. Chasing squirrels and birds is a favorite pastime.

We have been trying to get to the bottom of Remington's health issues and we had answer, but sad news too.

While having an ultrasound to "see" the liver better, it was noticed he had a mass on his bladder. After further testing, it has been determined the mass is cancer. Remington is now in hospice care with us. We plan to spoil him with attention and keep him comfortable until his "bad" days outnumber the good days.

We are hopeful to keep him pain-free and maximize his good days. He is a sweet boy who is easy to spoil. We are so glad he found us.

Thanks again to his Sponsors! Your donations allowed us to do the tests necessary to determine his condition.
