Thinking of my dear cyber sister Tammy today who lost her beloved dog Eddie last night. I know that pain and emptiness, and hope that she and Mark are doing ok.

It's been a very long while, but there is new hope

First an update...

The Sadie situation turned out to be bittersweet..mostly sweet.

Turns out Roxy is not vicious and unpredictable..she is a cancer detector!

Sadie had cancer eating away at her foot...something I may not have known until too late since it was a back foot that she limps on anyway due to arthritic, dysplastic, hips, had it not been for the attack. Though I do wish Roxy had found a less violent way to tell me. Saie had surgery and, despite being minus a toe, she is fine and peace is restored. As SOON as the cancer was removed Roxy went back to throwing herself at Queen Sadie's feet. And has become quite a good little agility dog too. We compete for the first time next month.

In other news...there is real hope for my baby dream to come true...well at least hope. I will be able to do...drumroll...a round of IVF, two if I can find a shared risk program I qualify for. It will probably be happening Oct/Nov ish. I am excited and scared out of my mind....this is it, my one last shot. Wish me luck.
