Princeton Update
This morning was a scare waking up to his gums being so much paler, we took him for bloodwork and things are still looking good.
His PCV is at 35% which is unchanged over the last week- which is a good sign. He is home with us (and in his new inflatable cone which is much comfier)
He’s still showing great signs of eating and eliminating, good energy, no signs of distress or discomfort.
We will be back on Tuesday for more bloodwork and to start B12 shots. We are making some food adjustments. Unfortunately this is a marathon that we have to take day by day, but we would much rather rush him to the vet to check his bloodwork vs assume he’s okay when he’s not.
So I think we’re kind of stable and okay for now!
Please continue to send him all of the good thoughts, prayers, healing and protective energy and all of the good juju!! 💗🐾🫶🏻

By a miracle turn of events, the boy is home!!!
We’re doing a trial run to see how he does at home.
We’ll be back in 2-3 days for bloodwork but as of right now the boy is home!!!!!

We got to see Princeton boy today!
Man I cannot say enough how much of a step in progress he made today!!
His surgeon said he looks 200 times better today than yesterday. He’s taking to the oral meds well. They’ll be doing blood work again tomorrow and giving a day or two on oral meds before we take the next steps to address malabsorption and if his body is producing red blood cells on his own.
The surgeon is still very confident in his recovery while being monitored by them, so we’re remaining hopeful and positive.
He has an appetite like we haven’t seen in YEARS. We actually had to hand feed him to get him to slow down. We will be bringing him a slow feeder asap 😆 He needs to eat in small frequent meals, but it looks like we’re finally getting to the point where the focus on his recovery and healing from the surgery can go on the back burner (while still being monitored of course) while we figure out his nutrition and malabsorption, and how to get his body back to producing and digesting things normally.
He had great energy today and was SOOO happy to see Nestor and I both together. He got to chew on his favorite ball/football for a while and get lots of love and cuddles. His incision looks super happy! It’s just an all around miracle. He looks like he put on a little weight 🥹 (every pound he gains is a milestone!) He’s usually a really anxious dog, but today we could see how much less stressed he was, as if he was telling us, “holy crap I feel sooo much better!”
We’re so excited to get updates little by little about his progress, sadly it is a waiting game as we introduce meds and see how they work, but we KNOW he is exactly where he is supposed to be and they won’t send him home until they’re truly confident he is ready.
Please continue to send the love and light, all of the positive, healing and protective energy, and prayers to our sweet fighter of a boy 💗

Princeton Update
Boy what a rollercoaster this has been.
The vet called and said the fluid was just a pocket and it’s drained on its own which is a GREAT sign. He’s doing good.
They’re still keeping a close eye on him but we have a good feeling he could possibly come home next week sometime 🤞🏻
We’re going down to see him tomorrow and hoping to get more information on his status.
It may be a few more days while they continue to do blood work and start medications that they couldn’t start until after the second blood transfusion, but his surgeon sounded very hopeful and confident in him.
As always, please continue to send all of the love, good energy, healing and positive energy-vibes-juju and prayers. I KNOW that big is receiving them and can’t wait to come home to us and his sister 💗🐾

Princeton Update
He has some discharge coming from his incision so they want to sedate him tomorrow morning and take a culture and also check that the muscle they had to cut through during surgery is still holding together. They’re keeping a close eye on his anemia and malabsorption but looks like it’s going to be a few more days at least before he can come home. Tuesday will mark 2 weeks since he’s been in the hospital.
They’re doing bloodwork either daily or every other day. We did get negative blood results for AIHA/IMHA (immune system diseases) which is wonderful news!!
He is extremely thin. Like the thinnest I’ve ever seen a dog with my own eyes 😭
His spirit is still soo strong which is keeping us strong.
I wish we had more answers and information to give. It’s incredibly hard not having our boy home, especially for Alma. This sweet girl is not a solo companion. We’re really lucky she’s been so strong and well behaved through all of this.
It’s so hard waiting day by day for his body to show the progress we need, but we know he’s in wonderful hands and exactly where he needs to be to heal properly.
Please continue to keep him in your thoughts, send all of the healing and protective energy, vibes and juju, and continue to send your prayers. This is a marathon we were no where near prepared for and I have no idea how we’ve kept our heads above water during the literal most stressful, heartbreaking event of our lives.

I’m so grateful for all of our friends and family who have reached out for updates and allowed me to vent while on the verge of a mental breakdown. I do apologize I’m not responding to everyone, or reaching out individually to give updates.
Yesterday was the absolute hardest once we saw how thin he was, and desperate to come home. Nestor and I both (understandably) shut down mentally and physically.
I’m even more grateful for Nestor, who has gone above and beyond preparing home cooked foods for Princeton, (and making sure they’re high in vitamins and nutrients while also bland and digestible) dropping everything to travel almost 2 hours away to pick up blood and get it to Princeton in time for a same day transfusion, all while being our rock while I break down mentally and physically. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to be “doggy parents” with. Princeton, Alma, and myself, are so incredibly lucky to share life and love with you.
Again, this is a long marathon, but it is a true MIRACLE that he’s not only survived this long with this thing inside of him, but that he also survived such an intense complex surgery and is showing a healthy appetite and strong will to live.
We know our boy is a true fighter, and we know exactly where he got that from.
Jill, Marco, Polo, Bailey, Willow, and soooo many others are by his side keeping him safe.
Thank you for taking the time to read this update and I will continue to post others as we learn more 💗🐾

Princeton update
Sadly our boy will not be coming home today.
The vet just called and his red blood cells have come back down so he needs another blood transfusion.
Nestor will be heading down to Denver to get more blood for him, so hopefully we have better news tomorrow.
Please continue to send all the love, healing, and positive energy and prayers his way.
We all miss him so much 😭💗🐾

Princeton Update
Puppy picture for positive news!
His white and red blood count are both starting to improve. They want to monitor him overnight to see if he needs another transfusion, but if he does not there’s a chance he may come home tomorrow or this weekend!!
We still have a journey ahead of us but we are so incredibly grateful he is alive and ‘well.’
Thank you so much again for everyone’s love and support through the literally most stressful experience of our lives.
We can’t wait to see what life has in store for our little fighter 🐾💗

Princeton Update
We don’t have much of an update at this point. He is doing well so far and eating, however his white blood count is still very high. Because of this, they will be keeping him for at least a few more days to monitor and give IV antibiotics. We know he’s in wonderful hands, but we can’t wait to have our boy home 😭 Please continue to send him all of the healing vibes and energy, all of the good juju and prayers. I know he’s receiving them 💗🐾🫶🏻

I just wanted to let everyone know we got an update on Princeton boy today.
He is stable and slowly recovering, as to be expected. He is weak but showing a strong will to live. Our spunky little boy is a fighter!
We will get updates every 24 hours unless things take a turn for the worse but as of right now things are looking good and we are very confident that he is finally in good hands.
They want to keep him at least 3-5 days for close monitoring as well as IV fluids and antibiotics. I do not know the full extent of his surgery at this point but will post that update when we do know. As badly as we want to see him, his healing and safety is our upmost concern, and we know when he sees us he will get excited and we absolutely do not want anything to reopen or rupture during that, so we will probably not see him until the middle of next week.
Please continue to send the prayers, good vibes, good juju, light, energy, and positivity his way.
I KNOW he’s receiving them.
Thank you again for everyone who had reached out and shown their love for our crazy sweet boy. You’ve all helped keep our sanity during this
🐾💗🫶🏻
