It’s after 10 and I haven’t blogged yet. This morning my daughter saw that Aspen’s side was distended. She took her to the veterinary oncologist and learned the worst: Aspen’s lymphoma is no longer in remission. We were looking at two more treatments and many months of her being cancer-free, but overnight, everything changed. She has, according to the doctor, a few weeks.

The early part of my day was busy — tending to the campaign for Living a Charmed Lifemy radio show, a lunch meeting and a teleconference — and then I met Adair and the dogs at their place and just hung out. We watched Aspen gnaw on a chewie, oblivious to the vet’s prognosis and enjoying the moment. We watched her sleep and watched her eat and scratched her ears and rubbed her tummy. And I plan to be there and do that every day I can.
