TJ UPDATE
October, 2011.

TJ, a 16-month osteosarcoma survivor, won Best In Show at the Fredericksburg Dog Mart on September 24. The judge gave TJ the award in recognition of his continued life of service (as a working Therapy Dog) and for his role as the face of canine cancer as spokes-dog for Greyhounds Rock Fredericksburg.

TJ had his front leg amputated in July 2010, followed by six rounds of chemotherapy, and he is currently taking low-dose chemotherapy pills. His quarterly chest x-ray, performed in September, showed no sign of cancer!

We wish to give special thanks to Victoria Stilwell for a fabulous Saturday evening presentation, Sheryl Matthys for entertaining us Sunday morning, and Dr. Guillermo Couto for his informative update on the advancements being made in canine cancer research at Ohio State University’s Greyhound Health & Wellness Program (GHWP).

If you attended this year's event we'd love to hear your thoughts. Each year we get to meet so many wonderful people and their dogs and we want to make our next event even better! To do that we need your thoughts and comments. Please let us know what worked, what didn't and what you'd like to do/see/hear next year that wasn't available this year.
