So says my mom. Still no sign of cancer 4 1/2 years later! I'm playing with three foster puppies: Daisy, Martin, and Panda. I didn't like them much at first but now that they are leaving next week, I think they are great!<br />

My mom calls him Bimbino--he has no fear of us, which, of course, is, unfortunately, probably okay because we can't break through the window.<br />

We did nothing but watch this thing hundreds of times to get the timing right. Not that I mind lying on chair arm while she groans and complains about the software. Anyway...<br />
<br />

NOTE: all pictures and videos were taken with a crummy 2 year old Droid phone (but they don't look too bad except the crappy videos). Except the animal closeups==those were with a 1985 Nikon something ancient film camera. At no time was my mom was in danger from the whales or the baby grizzlies. She never got off the boat...if she could help it.Riverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03058881915873075643noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474135524340029407.post-34255385855786610912012-07-25T22:04:00.001-04:002012-07-25T22:04:47.787-04:00Humphrey's giftTwo weeks ago my mom was freaking out. Humphrey was going downhill with kidney failure but was not bad enough to help him to the Bridge, although we knew it would be soon. Last year her mom had decided to go to Alaska on a cruise this July to see whales as part of her bucket list. She wanted my mom to come along.<br />
<br />
It was getting to be within days of that trip. My mom was due to leave on Friday the 13th.<br />
<br />
Humphrey was eating well the Sunday before, ate some on Monday, then stopped eating on Tues. He would not eat Wednesday either and hardly moved from his big pillow (my mom squirted water in his mouth with a syringe, as much as she could). We took him to the vet one final time on Wednesday. <br />
<br />
That sweet old squeaky boy made it easier for us to let him go before the trip. We did not want him to die while she was gone because she always plans to be with us at the end. But we did not want to send him along too soon just to be 'convenient'. <br />
<br />
However, someone on the cancer dog list said "better a day too soon than a minute too late." So well said.<br />
<br />
We thank you, Humphrey, very humbly, for your kind gift.<br />Riverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03058881915873075643noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474135524340029407.post-57893095768419731442012-07-12T20:53:00.001-04:002012-07-12T20:53:47.419-04:00RIP HUMPHREY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was Humphrey's photo at the vet's office. He was dumped there and they needed a home for him--because of his age and tumors they expected him to live a year maybe.<br />
<br />
My mom took him in. Got some donation money so they could operate and remove the tumors. He was with us 20 months so he got a good dose of beagle fun and love.<br />
<br />
He was a good hound, never growled, never fought, followed my mom everywhere. He had his special places in the house, one particular laundry basket was his alone. His nickname was "Squeaky Boy" because he had a really high pitched squeak of a bark.<br />
<br />
In the beginning, he loved to roach. Here is the video with Humphrey and Beau roaching to the Chicken Dance music. Humphrey is the second roacher.<br />
<br />

Sweet boy, we had you only for a little while at the end of your life but it was wonderful having you here. We will really miss our Squeaky Boy. Run free and happy without pain until we meet again.

Here is our beautiful boy. Look at those eyes. He was only 3 years old. We don't know what happened. The vet has no idea what happened--we have run through everything we can think of. Maybe spending a lot of money on a million tests might give us an answer but it would be too late to save him.<br />

He was having a good day. Went outside, curled up in a ball and slept on my mom's lap. Then suddenly around 2pm he was shaking, wobbling, then convulsing. Within an hour my mom had him at the vet's. He had a fever of 108!! The vet brought it down to 104 with icy towels and introvenous solution--but she said it was too late. That such a high fever was fatal. He had been given 2 shots of valium and finally propofol--which she said was the last resort for dogs that didn't respond to valium. He finally relaxed.

Mondo came to us with Mickey 3 years ago. We were supposed to adopt them out but my mom never did. Mondo was an alpha dog and so beautiful. He loved to be in my mom's lap and, fortunately, she had given him a lot of attention lately...not knowing he would be gone so soon.<br />

Oh, <a href="http://jazzanddixie.blogspot.com/">Jazz</a>. You just turned 9 in May and now you are gone. It's so unfair. We will miss you so much. We loved to read about your life in Japan with Dixie and the new baby. Another fast moving disease that no one could diagnose. You can meet our friend Bolo and our beagles Bitey and Beau. Run with the wind, ears flapping, sweet girl.</div>

He left us way too soon.<br />

My mom loved his smoochy nose.<br />
<br />
He was a unique, gentle loving being and we are really going to miss him a lot.<br />
<br />
Here is his blog:<br /><a href="

<br />
His stuffie will carry on for him. <br />
<br />
Bye bye Bolo. Say hello to our Bitey and Beau for us.<br />

Meanwhile, my mom is okay. She has finally stopped crying for Bitey so the rest of us can relax now. My vet says she can't find any cancer in me so, for now, I'm good. Mom says I'm eating <i>too good</i> and we may have to cut back a little. I'm willing to trade some kibble for more broccoli. My mom and I love broccoli.

He came into the world with his brother Beau on Labor Day 1999. From the beginning he was an alpha puppy. He would bite a lot. I thought, I could name him Mighty Bitey--then I thought, no, can't name a dog that. But it stuck. He was mostly Bitey but he also Biteboy and Bitebite.<br />
<br />
Here he is at 6 months running like crazy. I love those flying beagle ears.<br />
<br />

He would jump up on any horizontal surface--a flying leaper. His brother Beau used to walk the railing and give me heart cramps. No other beagle before or since has done these things like these two brothers.<br />

<br />
<b>My most vivid memory of Bitey:</b><br />
<br />
One day leaving for work I hesitated at the door and Bitey flew out and down the driveway.<br />
<br />
We live at the end of a dead end so I wasn't afraid he would get run over. We live in the country so I was afraid he would get SHOT.<br />
<br />
I took off after him in my heels (low heels). The woods around my house are dense and I knew that probably my voice wouldn't carry very far. Nevertheless, I called and called and slogged through the underbrush and mud. After about a half an hour I heard Bitey howling. So I called. He howled. He was afraid. That initial rush of flying freedom was fun at first but now he was scared. He realized he was not in any familiar place. We kept calling until we found each other. I picked him up and carried him home, holding him close. I never wanted to hear that howl of fear again...and it never happened again.<br />
<br />

<b>Update--our vet talked to my oncologist and he said that Kinavet can be used for t-cell lymphoma. We already have 2 bottles of Kinavet so Bitey was started on it yesterday. We don't know how well it will work or if it's too late but we will try.There is no cure...but we can hope to slow it down.</b></div>
<br />
My mom apologizes for so much sad news this early in the year but it seems to be happening all at once.<br />
<br />
<br />
We lost Beau this past Tuesday. On Wednesday. my mom took his brother, Bitey, to be checked because he had a lump under his front leg. It came back positive for lymphoma, too. Two brothers, same cancer at exactly the same time??<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Beau and Bitey were born on Labor day 1999. They plopped right out of Baby into my mom's hands. So they both are very, very special to her.<br />
<br />
There is a treatment for lymphoma but it only buys a little time. Six months of chemo and you might get 2 more months after that. The problem with lymphoma is that it never really goes away. The next time the cancer comes back it's more resistant. It's very, very expensive, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
The simplest treatment is prednisone which is what we are doing. We're feeding Bitey the same diet as me now--special stuff with lots of supplements. We had no warning at all with Beau but maybe it will buy us some extra days with Bitey. At least we <i>know </i>ahead of time which is <i>priceless.</i><br />
<br />
It is sunny today so we are outside. 60 degrees. And Bitey feels good, not a lot of energy for roaching but still able to!<br />

He was born in our house on Labor Day 1999. My mom had taken in a pregnant girl who had 5 boys. From that litter my mom kept two--Beau and Mighty Bitey plus the mama she named Baby.<br />
<br />
Beau was only 12. We don't understand why this had to happen and it happened so fast. We are sort of stunned right now.<br />
<br />
Beau was a quiet boy, always sweet and happy. We are really going to miss you, Beau-Beau.<br />
<br />
Run free, sweet doggie boy.<br />

We were horrified to hear about the fire at the house of the <a href="http://kissa-bull.blogspot.com/">Houston Pittie Pack</a>. They lost 5 of their beautiful babies and their house. There is a <a href="http://pittiepackfirerecoveryfund.chipin.com/sandras-fire-recovery">Chip-In</a> page for them to help in their recovery. The fund has reached its limit but that was set fairly low. Keep giving what you can. But the most important thing is to give moral support and many many prayers. Please let them know you are thinking of them.Riverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03058881915873075643noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474135524340029407.post-54992367505303620292011-12-09T01:25:00.001-05:002011-12-09T01:43:11.087-05:00Christmas Foster Failure--a New Daisy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hard to believe...my mom has let dozens of baby beagles slip through her hands and be adopted, even babies that were born at our house. Here was this little 14 lb. girl from South Carolina, one day away from euthanasia...nobody would take her because she had heartworms.<br />
<br />
So along came the <a href="http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/hand.html">H.A.N.D. Foundation--Homeless Animals Needing Doctors</a>. They said--<i>the only thing keeping this beautiful little creature from being adopted is a LIGHT CASE of heartworms</i>??? <i>Here's the money to treat it</i>! And they transported her to Tennessee to my mom who offered to foster.<br />
<br />
My mom has not had a foster failure since...ME. 5 years. So an animal has to be really really special to stay forever here in this house of beagles.<br />
<br />
Even though it means I'm no longer the baby beagle of the pack (everyone else is over 10 years old here) still, this new Daisy is a good girl. She's figured out how to curl up on the hollow of my mom's left shoulder (so my mom can still type around her) and not interfere at all with where I sleep by my mom (left arm of the big chair).<br />
<br />
We lost our 22 year old Daisy in April 2011 and my mom said the house was JUST NOT RIGHT without a Daisy in it. <br />
<br />
So, we have a new Daisy. She is a wild girl, runs shrieking out the back door to chase any possible bunnies that are dumb enough to come in a beagle yard. (they do, believe it or not but we've never caught one).<br />
<br />
This makes my mom very happy so I'm okay with it.<br />
<br />
Welcome, little miss New Daisy! <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Georgia came to my mom from an owner at 7 years old. We've had her ever since. I considered her my girlfriend although she could be kinda crazy at times. She loved me and loved people but was not always friendly to other girl beagles. It's especially sad that she left while my mom was on vacation. Our petsitter took her to our vet and they said nothing more could be done so my mom from far away had to let her go. Our petsitter stayed with Georgia to the end. It's very hard to lose her even though we know she is pain-free now and running around the Bridge. Goodbye my sweet sweet Georgia girl.</span></div>

<li>My mom's latest favorite movie is LEMONADE MOUTH. You can see it on Netflix.</li>
<li>My mom's favorite food is NY strip. (mine, too, yuh-um!) </li>
<li><s>My mom loves me more than anything on the planet and universe</s>...okay, maybe everybody already knows that so I'll add an extra thing on the end.</li>
<li>My mom has a broken nose from a rock fight as a little kid.</li>
<li>My mom's uh 'bird' finger on her right hand was broken in a softball game...when she was a little kid.</li>
<li>My mom fell at work and her shoulder muscles pulled a chip off the bone. Can you say workman's comp? No matter. She says it hurts less everyday and work did pay for her care. Hmm, I don't know...am I sniffing a pattern here??? Like <em>Fight Club</em> kinda pattern???</li>
<li>My mom loves cold, snowy wintry days. We can cuddle by our fireplace.</li>
<li>My mom says she loves RED as her favorite color. I don't know. Everything is pretty much black & white to me. </il></li>
<li>My mom had carpal tunnel (?) surgery which she says didn't help her hand and hurt like hay-ell. </li>
<li>My mom wants a big ole honkin truck for her birthday...no one knows that but they do now!</li>
and finally:
<li>My mom intends to be a rich writer. Hah! Who knew?? </li>
