He died of cancer. It seems to be generally believed that it started in his big toe. Incidentally, my mom's awesome, large-for-his-breed sheltie named Snickers also has cancer and it started in his toe. That's my great grandmother in the picture. She died when she was 101 in 2008. She was diabetic for half of her life which some people think is amazing.
These are the things I am thinking about today. From what I've gathered, Bob Marley's toe went untreated and he eventually died from a tumor in his brain. Snickers has started radiation treatment on his foot.
There is definitely a sense of disbelief when someone tells you that an enflamed bump on a toe is actually a dangerous cancer. Another dog we know had an enflamed bump for several months and it turned out to be a porcupine quill; the swelling was so great they couldn't find the quill in his skin and the veterinarian had initially diagnosed that dog as having cancer.
Not sure what the weekend holds just yet other than drinks at Shangri-la. Apparently Domy is having a reception on Saturday night. Since I've never been there before, and it may give me happy nostalgia for Houston, I think I'll check it out. 7-9. For more info on the opening: Domy
Last night I was able to hang out with three friends at Vino Vino. We had a really great, cheap wine from the Loire Valley of France named You are so Nice. From the Vino Vino's description this wine is very earth friendly: biodynamic, organic, hand harvested -- wow.
