Watson's Canine Lymphoma Blog: Waldo gets a sister!

Watson's History

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.

Waldo gets a sister!

We are picking up Waldo's new sister today! Peanut, a three-year-old girl cat, is joining our household this afternoon. Waldo has already snacked on her cat litter (good thing it's all natural, right?), so it should be an interesting weekend.

I'll be off the blog for a few days but will post about Peanuts arrival next week.

Perspective Watch - I'm glad I live on high ground, and not here... or here....

Sorry you seem to have had so much unjustified criticism recently. For what it's worth - I'm totally with you on this one. You had every right to take the action you did, and say what you did - I'd have done the same. Watson would be proud of you for standing up for what you believe in, and looking after his brother...; November 9, 2007 at 11:58 AM

Thanks for the support; it does matter. The dissenters either have stopped reading the blog or have said "good riddance and thank goodness you don't go to Dogma anymore" to me. Waldo's neck is healing, which is what's important. I can't change the past, nor do I want to.

How are you doing?? Still feeling fatigued? How was the PR awards show? Was it an open bar...? =); November 9, 2007 at 1:09 PM
Fiona said...: Linda, thank you so much for your kind comments for Yogi. Was lovely to read. Your new addition sounds perfect. I bet you and Waldo can't wait :o)
You were so right about the collar. I would have done the same in your position. Well done!
Take care and good luck with Peanuts x; November 10, 2007 at 6:00 AM

Just listened to the BBC news and there was an item on The Welsh Assembly banning electric shock dog collars. Here is the link:-
