Xerxes — cf6759

I received Xerxes as a gift for Christmas back in 2013 after my dog Xena passed away. We’ve always lived alone, and when I was at work he would go to my mothers house for the day and be with his two sisters Molly and Callie. We all just recently moved to a new area so things remain the same with daily play dates with his sisters. Callie is actually from the same parents just different litter.

Everyone loves Xerxes wether it’s family or strangers. He sleeps all over the house but his favorite place is in the bed. When he takes his daily trips to his sisters house they’re usually running around the yard endlessly, but once tired they all squeeze up on the couch with my mother and rest.

Xerk was diagnosed with lymphoma in early spring. I have an entry level job that barely pays my expenses and to date I have paid over $7000 for his treatment. At this point, I used all of my savings and have borrowed over $5000 from family.

Diagnosis:
Stage IVb B cell (medium cell size, high class II MHC) Lymphoma- PR/nCR post Elspar/pred - SD post vinc, mild PD post Cytoxan, CR post Adriamycin - OR on 8/18/20 - CR post Elspar/pred/metformin, PD post CCNU, PD 9/18/20 post Elspar/dex, improve post Cytosar - SD to slight PD

He’s been going thru treatment and doing well.

He loves going to the dog park after I get home from work and seeing all his friends and running around. He also love to play fetch, although his way of playing is standing at the top of a hill and dropping the ball making it roll to me and then I kick it down the dog park, he’ll retrieve it then back to the top of the hill again. His favorite song is “everybody dance now”.
