I dust every Lent and Advent, whether it’s needed or not ;-).

Our greyhound, Ash, has bone cancer. The vet gives her less than six months, and it’s already, after less than a month from the diagnosis, getting to be time for bigger painkillers. She’s 11, so it was going to be something.

We won’t replace her with a husky ... way too fluffy!

I'm so sorry to hear that Ash is ill. Our beloved twelve and a half year old Ridgeback died of cancer on June 19. He had a heart murmur, and I had taken him in for a sixth month follow up ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed that he had multiple tumours on his internal organs.

He was such a happy and healthy boy until the very end. I miss him so much.
