Next year I'll have to admit myself to that nursing home just to see
that!...what really amazes me is that you're doing email at 4:00 in the

>Clondike is a Great Pyrenees bitch who will be 12 years-old on Friday.
>She was diagnosed with canine lymphoma in May, 1998 and has undergone
>various chemotherapy protocols, currently being 22 weeks into remission
>#3.

>Her pet therapy team decided to make a Halloween visit to our local
>nursing home.  She couldn't decide whether to go as an angel or a clown,
>so she wore a halo and a clown bow tie.  Needless to say, she was a big
>hit, as were her team mates.  She actually tolerated the halo and tie for
>an hour and 45 minutes--a much longer visit than she has done in
>many months, with or without costume.

>Photos of this event can be found at:

>The first photo in the sequence is one of the best we have ever taken of
>her--showing the spirit under the fluffy coat.  If you compare it with
>the photo I used to illustrate the article on her lymphoma treatment (see
>http://www.pyrbred.org/lymphoma), it is hard to believe it is now 7 months
>later--she still looks great.

>Thanks to all the supportive people on the various lists who have kept
>Clondike, Nancy and I in their thoughts and prayers.  It really helps!
