Dawg's life was going relatively well (for a terminal cancer patient). She was growing a bit of fur where her arm was amputated and her face lift was a success. Because she had to have her face lift (another cancer tumor removal), it was determined that the chemotherapy wasn't working, so we had decided to discontinue it.
Unfortunately, by the time we made that decision, it was too late. Seemingly out of nowhere, Dawg became VERY ill. She was super anemic and lethargic and wouldn't eat. Apparently the chemotherapy caused ulcers to develop in her stomach and she was bleeding internally, resulting in the anemia. Suddenly we were fighting for Dawg's life. Luckily she was still fighting too! It was a lot of work running back and forth trying to find something she would eat, taking her to the vet every day, giving her different pills at different times of the day, cleaning up messes, etc. but it all paid off. Besides, it was easy to do EVERYTHING we could think of for someone who has given so much of herself to us and other humans.
Just before this picture was taken, we had given Dawg subcutaneous fluids. Unfortunately we were inexperienced and we didn't think of warming the solution before injecting it into Dawg. (There is a 30*F difference between the temp. in our house and Dawg's temp.) We put Dawg in the sun, noted our mistake and we said to ourselves..."Wouldn't it be cool if DFP would sit next to her and warm the fluid in Dawg's back?" We left the room for a few minutes, and this scene is what we saw when we went back!
This is life with DFP! She continually amazes us! I don't know why we are still so surprised by her actions because she is always doing stuff like this. Humans NEVER give animals enough credit when it comes to animals understanding what is going on around them.

The pretty chapel called Maria Hilf on Stoos was constructed for the alpine farmers and their families in 1721. The farmers and alpine people visited the Sunday religious celebrations where they could get compassion and help. A priest from Schwyz was obliged to climb all the way to Stoos every Sunday. He had to have an empty stomach up the steep climb, because of an old law in those days. After the holy mass, and having given the holy sacrament to his believers, he was obliged to leave the mountain world and return to monastery in Schwyz. After a fire which destroyed the chapel, a new one was constructed in 1932.
Scotty is a Vietnam Vet who lost his home due to back taxes a few years ago.
Ever since, he's been homeless. Even though he's homeless, with very little
he still has the compassion to feed what little he has left to the birds.
I recently found this photo of Kizzy and our 'farm dog', Meg.
I decided to process it and I'm happy with how it turned out.
Also I had a great afternoon last night with my twin: David :)
Mural on the wall of a building at M.G. Marg, Gangtok. The Buddha preached peace and compassion. The people of the hills are very pleasant and compassionate to one and all. Anger is rare. Discipline and cleanliness are a priority to the people of Sikkim - a true Heaven on Earth.
