Update on Sophia 2

Sophia Update: We got bad news today. We were told not to expect a remission. After going through several different chemo protocols since February, the Oncologist feels we are on the best one, and this protocol is failing. The current thinking is to continue this path for around 2 months, at which time she feels we’ll reach a point where it is no longer effective. After that, there will be “other” things we can do, but none will be as effective as the diminishing course we are on currently. We’ve done the best we could for our little three-legged wondergirl, but to know for sure you’re losing the battle is hard. We don’t have kids, but to us, our dogs are family. Sophia is our doghter. To some people, that’s a silly notion, but to us it is very real. I’m not asking for prayers, but I am asking fellow pet lovers to squeeze them extra hard tonight, and kiss their little heads. Love them while they’re here.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal.
