Good now: Adding Lizziebelle to my furry pack was challenging; she came with some issues. Worked with a behaviorist and things are calm now between my dogs. I do have to stay on top of things.

Doing fine: Tanza turned 11 last week. Still exuberant as ever when we play agility. Slowed down a lot at home though. Haven’t we all!

Bad: Wizard was diagnosed with liver cancer in January. Not operable. Trying to give him as many good days as I can in the months he has left. Frequent mini meals keep his blood sugar level and him feeling pretty good. Wizard is a huge fan of getting fed multiple times a day and even through the night.

Bad: My brother has inoperable colon cancer. Things are going downhill quickly for him, sadly.

And so it goes.
