As mentioned previously, we have a new arrival, Dandy. She has been a very good dog and adapted extremely quickly to our home. We tell folks it's like she's been with us for years. One thing, however, the little rascal loves doing when she's outside and excited, is dig holes. Everywhere. Now, to be honest,... Continue Reading →
Photo: A statement on our times
As mentioned in other posts, Mom has a Turkish background. This means we eat at Turkish food restaurants from time to time. Me, I’m an admittedly very picky eater, while Mom is not. So it is always funny to me that one of the things I picked up a love for from Turkish restaurants is... Continue Reading →
Yuki’s Story: Finale
I'm not going to string this out. Simply put, Yuki is CANCER FREE! Recently, Yuki went in for his final exam and "re-staging" after finishing his 20 weeks of chemotherapy.

Yuki’s Story – Round 4, Week 1
Yuki is now on his last round of chemotherapy, and soon we'll know if all this was any help in extending his life. We are anxious to know if all these treatments will give us more time with our beloved pet, but they also made us realize that every moment with our dogs is a gift and that their presence in our life, and the affect they have on our lives, should never be take for granted.

His total bilirubin number was high and after re-checking was much lower but remained above normal. The doctor decided to lessen the Vincristine... Continue Reading →
