Sorry, I haven\'t posted in a while, there has been so much going on. The pups are doing good, we\'ve worked a little with walking on a leash. We still need a lot more work, but, there is hope! Their grandma, my Sissy, was diagnosed with lymphoma. I was told chemo, or, she would have a 6-8 week life expectancy. We started chemo, and the first week went well, the second week really messed with her white cell count. It\'s a once a week protocol, the CHOP protocol, which he said is the same as used in people with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. When we went in last Thursday, they did bloodwork and her white cell count was really low, and she had a slight fever. They gave her antibiotics IV, and sent her home with tablets. She\'s still acting normal, and eating well, so keeping my fingers crossed that her bloodwork is back to normal this coming week so we can continue the chemo.

We\'ve been having hot humid weather, today is a bit of a break, but back in the mid 90\'s starting again tomorrow.
