A little late on this but we have had some internet service 'issues' that and my freakishly long claws and well,  having only one hand makes for some slow typing, but a dog's gotta blog .....so here i go.

 Thank you to all the good people in the heart of it all for helping with the pet songs benefit!!!
Sounds like it was a blast. Amazing music was shared. And somewhat of a family reunion...
 Dj has been a bit of a wreck due to the financial and emotional strain of all this cancer stuff, but you wouldn't know it since she has kept on truckin', working hard and keeping it on the upbeat so I don't get down. But if you listened to her voice for the past 3 or so months you could hear the sadness. She has literally been hoarse since November. Couldn't sing anything but that raspy betty davis junk and was struggling each day just to teach her classes and work with the kids. Pretty frustrating stuff. Especially for someone who loves to sing. I, of course,  kept reminding her that there are worse things to lose than your voice. Say an arm, for example.
 
Well, one day of being in Cincinnati and her voice magically comes back and it wasn't from doing any of the things they recommend to heal a voice - she had tried almost every one - nothing was working - not even the boiled raisin water. ickk..but we knew it was tied in to the emotional more than the physical. Though rest does wonders. not having responsibility does wonders. Just being with good people.  Just getting a few good hugs here and there. She hugs me a lot. It helps.

  So she comes back all singing and talking away. And it is nice. When we go out to play she can actually call me from afar. I love hearing those words. "bunny!" "come!" "treat treat!"

  We were walking to the vet the other morning and these guys were admiring me, and gettin the lo down - most think I was born like this, because I am so graceful and at ease with my body -  and the one said," Wow! you are sooo cool. I was just saying how I wished I could make someone better just by the touch of my hand." Dj replied" touch is very healing." " I like what you're saying!" he says with a smile as we hopped on down the road.
 
   I didn't get my chemo treatment this week. There is something not up to par with my kidneys. It is not to worry though. No signs of the cancer in the kidney, so that's good. The doc thinks it is probably very early stage of  kidney disease. Not a surprising effect from the high protien diet and chemo drugs- pretty harsh stuff, although I have been takin it like a champ-  they have taken thier toll. It's working though. No cancer. But, we think enough is enough on the heavy drugs.

   We met this older gentleman a few weeks back. He took a real interest in me and was especially interested  in what kind of chemotherapy I was recieving and how we were affording it etc. Dj asked him if he was familiar with these kind of treatments and he said " A little too familiar". He had lost his wife of 40 + years to ovarian cancer just this last November. When he pet me he had to turn around to cry for a bit. He said we were doing the right thing. He also said," healing Bunny is a sacred journey". Indeed. Thanks to all for being a part of it.

 I like this saying:

It's not that we are all in this together. It's that we are all this together.
