THE DOGS' PICTURES DIDN'T APPEAR IN THE LAST POST. I WILL TRY AGAIN.
OBVIOUSLY SOME DOGS ENJOYS A BATH MORE THAN OTHERS (EVEN PREFERING TO SHOWER). THE FRIENDS IN THE PICTURES ARE MY SIS REBECCA (WHITE SHIRT) AND KARI ROTH (BLUE SHIRT). KARI IS A STUDENT FROM SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE WHO HAS BEEN HELPING STAY AHEAD OF THE DOG DIRT IN THE HOUSE FOR THE LAST YEAR.

I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ALL YOU LOYAL FOLLOWERS. I'VE BEEN BUSY. THIS LAST ROUND (NUMBER 4) REALLY TOOK THE WIND OUT OF MY SAILS. THE FACT THAT REBECCA AND I WORKED LIKE FARMHANDS ALL WEEKENDS COULDN'T POSSIBLY FACTORED INTO MY FATIGUE. THE TUMOR MARKER CONTINUES TO DROP--NOW BELOW 200. DR HORBELT WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT BELOW 20 FOR TWO CONSECTIVE TREATMENTS. I SUSPECT THAT MEANS I'M LOOKING AT AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 7 TO 8 ROUNDS. AS LONG AS THE STUFF IS KILLING CANCER CELLS I CAN HANG IN THERE.

THE STRAWBERRIES ARE DONE. PUT UP TWO BATCHES OF JAM. REBECCA PICKED GREEN BEANS FROM MY GARGEN ON SUNDAY MORNING (7/14). TOMATOES LOOKIN' GOOD.

I'M POSTING PICS OF THE DOGS. (A DOG PIC ALWAYS BRIGHTENS ONES DAY) THEY GOT BATHS OVER THE WEEKEND. LOUIE ALWAYS ENJOYS HIS MORE THAN LUCY.
