My muzzle may be gray, but this girl still has milestones to celebrate! 🎓🐾

I’m Luna, and at 12 years young, I’m officially a chemo graduate! My lymphoma is in remission, and after four treatments, my family and Dr. Partridge agreed it was time for me to graduate a little early and focus on feeling my best. 💛

I’ll still visit my ACRC friends for checkups, but I’m ready to wear my cap, soak up the love, and celebrate this sweet moment.

With silver in my fur, strength in my spirit, and so much love surrounding me, I’m stepping into this next chapter as a true survivor—and a very proud chemo graduate! 🎉

A crown, a cake, and the cutest birthday girl! 👑🎂💜 Happy 9th Birthday, Zoey! We loved celebrating you with treats, snuggles, and a little extra spoiling. Your ACRC family is wishing you more happy days, tasty treats, and moments worth celebrating! 🐾

🎓🐾 Excuse me… I have an announcement to make. I GRADUATED! 🐾🎓

Hi everyone, Ava here. 💕
Yes, that Ava — the sweet little Cocker Spaniel with the big eyes, soft ears, and just enough drama to keep everyone on their toes.

Back in April, my family found out I had B-cell lymphoma. Since then, I’ve had chemotherapy, radiation, lots of appointments, and more people fussing over me than I can count.

Which, honestly, is not the worst thing when you’re a Cocker Spaniel. 😉

I kept showing up, kept being brave, and kept reminding everyone that I am still very much the princess around here.

And now I can officially say:

I completed my CHOP19 chemotherapy protocol! 🎉

Even better, my doctors say I’m in complete remission, and my lymph nodes are nice and small.

So I’m trading treatment days for checkups, cuddles, naps, snacks, and the amount of attention I rightfully deserve. 💅🐾

A big thank you to Dr. Partridge and my ACRC team for taking such good care of me, and to my family for loving me through every single part of this journey.

I may be little, fluffy, and extremely cute…

but I’m also one tough girl. 💙

🎓🐾 Rocky here, reporting some very important news… I’M DONE WITH CHEMO! 🐾🎓

After surgery for a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma and five rounds of doxorubicin, I officially completed my treatment plan!

I came in for my final visit doing great, feeling good, and apparently very ready to get back home before lunchtime. 😂 Priorities, people.

My bloodwork was good for treatment, my exam looked great, and my chest X-rays showed no obvious signs of spread on the preliminary review.

So after one last treatment, I got the words every oncology patient wants to hear:

HAPPY GRADUATION DAY, ROCKY! 🎉

Now my job is pretty simple — keep enjoying life, keep being spoiled, and come back for regular checkups so my ACRC team can continue keeping a close eye on me.

A big thank you to Dr. Partridge, my ACRC team, and especially my family for getting me through every step of this journey.

I was told graduation comes with congratulations, pictures, and lots of attention.

I’m still waiting to hear about the snack situation. 🦴😏

Way to go, Rocky! We loved celebrating this big day with you! 💙🐾

🎓🐾 Guess who graduated?! IT’S ME — Koda! 🐾🎓

Hi friends, Koda here! 💕 A few months ago, I had surgery to remove my spleen after my doctors found a mass. Since then, I’ve been making regular trips to ACRC, getting lots of love, plenty of treats, and something called chemotherapy. Apparently, I’ve been a very brave girl through all of it. (I already knew that. 😉)

Today I finished my final doxorubicin treatment! 🎉

My latest check-up included chest X-rays and an abdominal ultrasound, and my oncology team continues to keep a very close eye on me. For now, I’m trading treatment days for regular monitoring — and I think that deserves a celebration!

Thank you to Dr. Kaiser and everyone at ACRC who helped me through each visit, and especially to my family for being beside me every paw-step of the way. ❤️

Cancer may have become part of my story, but it certainly doesn’t get to be the whole story.

Now… where are my graduation treats?! 🎓🦴🐾

Congratulations, Koda! We are so proud of you!
Making Life Better, Longer. 💙
