My first dedication is for my nephew, Bruce...about this time last year, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma...he lives in Miami with his girlfriend and young son. He'd pretty much just gotten his life together, had a decent job at Petsmart was trying to make ends meet. Although he had health insurance, the out of pocket expenses for his chemo treatments and such were insane...but he managed with his insurance and my sister and mom's help..and underwent many chemo treatments.
I put on an agility fundraiser and with the help and support of a TON of folks, people I knew and some I didn't even know, none of them knowing Bruce, I managed to raise about $2,500.00...dog people are just the best...yesterday my sister emailed me to tell me that Bruce's recent pet scan came back perfect...no reoccurring cancer...awesome news!
Here's a picture of Bruce and his little boy, Joshua
My next dedication, and the reason for this blog, is to my amazing dog, Triumph...I have been forced recently to live my life without a few things I had grown to love, but I cannot imagine my life without my dogs...especially this one as he has been one of the reasons for my laughs and smiles every day...he would really like to get back to our normal routine and back to some training...here are a couple of pictures taken of him at the USDAA trial in Orlando last month...such a good dog...I am so blessed to know him...
My third dedication is to my family and all of my amazing friends, agility friends, non-dog friends, those that live far and near, my friends at work, my friend and neighbors, and the two attorneys I work for...I thank you for all your support, patience, understanding, for advice and for just listening...
And finally, Patty Smyth, remember her? I sure do...1992...always loved her music and voice...thank you Luann for sharing this CD with me...
so my last dedication, to Marc Dana...
SOMETIMES LOVE JUST AIN'T ENOUGH...
