Wire services calling daily now, asking, “What’s the latest with you two?” And “Can you endure any more presidential politicking?”
And so we reveal.
Jenna continues in chemotherapy in Seattle for her lymphoma. Arrives at treatment with a sheet of questions. Gets answers. Back next week with a new set of questions.
Clinic entry door opens up. Nurses scatter. Ha ha! No, really, the care at this clinic – can’t beat it. Kind, compassionate, competent. Free snacks too!! Seven weeks till reevaluation.
When the rains resume, we will move back to Olympia, no later than mid-October. Stay there, visit with our friends, go to Seattle weekly. Endure the rain and wait to return to the AZ desert.
Trip to Mexico – prospects dim as the drug war escalates throughout the country. We can wait till next year.
One week now with no dog. We returned him to his breeder. Who immediately said that she will keep him as a pet. Happy days for all, as Denby grew up in her home, with occasional trips to waiting females. (What a stud!) We miss Denby, but are amazed at how much cleaner our home and truck and clothing and lungs look and feel.
As a substitute, we are looking for a new breed: smaller; doesn’t shed; intelligent; watch dog; not aggressive. Jenna thinks that I fit the bill already, other than height. I demur.
The winner so far – Australian Terrier. Uncommon, thus few breeders. But we are mobile. “Have travel, will dog.”
That is all.

Bruce,
It was nice meeting you at Jeanne's house. She send me the eagle picture and your blog was on there. Prayers for you and your beautiful wife. Love the picture with the hat and scarf.
Smiles to you both-
ps.. I walk 60 miles this weekend for Breast Cancer. My thought are all about those aflicted with cancer.

Sending sunshine & rainbows for Jenna and good luck with the new dog. I had both a Yorkie (Keegan) & an Australian Silky Terrier (Dundee). As much as I loved Yorkies, Dundee still has my heart.
We had them when late hubby got cancer and we found two wonderful foster homes for them when he had surgery and the ensuing radiation. After that we asked it they wanted to keep them, both were relieved because they didn't know how they were going to give them back. LOL!
Just watch for any family history of seizures...seems to be an issue with the Silkies...
