It seems almost impossible to think that Io has only been a Tripawd for 25 days – seems like we have been going through this together for such a long time now. However he is still doing really well . He is being very lucky in having almost no side effects from the Chemo apart …

Io’s dark secret
Now that we very much feel we are among friends it is perhaps time to reveal the story (or dark secret) of Io’s kennel name. Before going on with this tail I feel I should explain a little about my good wife, Mitch. She has a love of most things gothic,celtic and mediavel and this was …
another milestone :-)
earlier on today Io picked up a chewbone but couldn’t decide how to chew it-several minutes of being stared at from under his eyebrows and then he wandered off. Just now he picked it up again and managed to give it a chew-after he’d kicked it single pawed round the room a bit to show …

A bit more on Io’s name and lil progress report
hi, Io’s mum Mitch here (prev posts are from Io’s dad, Rog) Rog mentioned that he first heard Io’s name as it’s the name of one of Jupiters moons, on which a probe had landed at more or less the same time we adopted our Io. The original Io was a figure in Greek myth, …

Hello world!
This is the blog of Io the Irish Wolfhound and his entry into the illustrious Tripawd club Io was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his left front leg shortly two days before Christmas, a scan showed that the cancer was confined to the leg and so we are able to make the decison to have the affected leg removed. We have …
