Copper is Doing Well
If you look close at the photo above, you can see where they shaved Copper's belly, and spray painted a green line. They did this on his back as well, and they also spray painted some X's on his legs. Copper has been tagged!
Copper is doing very well. He did not have any side effects from the last radiation session. Not being a professional, I cannot be sure, but I think two things helped prevent the side effects. First, I let Copper sleep all that he wanted. I put him on the dog bed, and left him alone. This way, he could gain his strength back. Second, I only gave him a couple of tablespoons of wet food when he came home from the vet (so he could take his pills), and I gave him a light breakfast the next day. This allowed his digestive system a chance to recover from the radiation. Did it help? I don't know, but it sure didn't hurt.
Copper was tired for a couple of days, and then returned to his old self.

You look very dashing with your green Xs, Copper!!
Don't tell Max, but I am proud of you for sneaking the rawhide treats all by yourself!

Thanks Agnes,
I had my plan all worked out. I waited until everyone was asleep (3:00 a.m.), and then I tip-toed past Max the wonder dog. It was hard because he sleeps on the floor by the doggy door. I then found the treat, and tip-toed back through the doggy door, and up the ramp to the bed. I had the rawhide stick hidden in my mouth, but it did stick out some... I don't think they noticed it though. Both Max the wonder dog & Mr. Wiggins didn't wake up, however my mom did. She then insisted on taking a picture of me (she said she was going to post it on my blog). I did get to enjoy the stick though! I was tired the next day because getting up at 3am to steal a rawhide stick is tough work.
Woof,
Copper aka "Joe Friday"
