This is a blog about Watson's fight with canine lymphoma and the healthy changes we are making for his little brother Waldo. Watson was my best friend and my love; what we learned from Watson’s ordeal was not learned in vain.
Watson, our beagle/basset mix, was adopted into the Frembes family in January 2005 at the ripe young age of 10(ish). He came to our house with his foster mother from the BONES shelter and I instantly fell in love. He had overcome an abusive past and had the facial paralysis to prove it, but he looked up at me and that was it. He was home.
After two years and seven months of wonderful, healthy years with us, Watson was diagnosed with lymphoma on July 18, 2007. He fought hard in a short amount of time. My sweet boy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 16, 2007. He is loved and missed.

Hi Linda,
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog - everyone's been so kind.
I've just read Watsons story from the beginning, and I feel for you so much. Almost all the worries, observations and concerns you have are familiar - I went through a similar rollercoaster with Prince. If I can do anything, or answer any questions (no matter how silly they may sound!) please let me know.
Watson looks like a great chap - and a lucky one to have such loving owners.
Prince and I are sending you all lots of love and strength as you go through such a tough time.
