Elli asked me today what was up w the blog so I am sure the rest of you are waiting on the edge of your seats too.
Welp, not much. But lots of stuff that make it chaotic, herding cats is what I told Elli.
I sissied out of the Blue Ridge Parkway ride so we don’t really have a vacation planned for this year. We penciled in a few backpacking trips, both with and without the kids. Then Jake got sick, or at least we realized he was sick. Jake has lymphoma. He has responded well to the prednisone (no chemo). Paul is supposed to check back in w the vet on Monday to maybe cut back on the dosage. The lumps in his neck (I assume enlarged lymph nodes) reduced in size, but now they are growing again in size. We are doing everything we can to give him quality of life for as long as we can so he has been sleeping in our bed. A 90 pound dog takes up a lot more space than a 9 pound cat. Whoa. Between Jake and Paul, the temperature goes up about 100 degrees. He also gets soft food (can’t really eat much hard food) and we did take him swimming recently. Here is a pic:
There is more pathetic and apathetic stuff to write about but I am SO crabby I need to go to bed now.
