Good morning,
I am new on this forum. I have metastatic breast cancer with mets in pelvis, spine, ribs and skull. My four dogs are the main reason I get up every day. They keep me going and active with walking them in the woods everyday. I just wanted to say hi.

Hello Lee and best wishes. Benji sends best woofs to your lovely troupe. 
Hi Benji my Teddy, Cody, Nutmeg and Georgie send woofs to you too. Have a pawsome day x
Hi Lee,
What a lovely brood.
Here’s Mr Kevin Smithers, but you can just call him Mr Smithers. He’s a fourteen year old Tibetan Terrier who we rescued after was locked up for two years. We’ve had him for twelve years, He’s a supportive lad.
Are you happy to share more about your doggies?
I am in between treatment for colorectal cancer and waiting on my MRI.
I hope today is a good day.
Neil.
Hi Neil and Mr Smithers. He is a handsome boy, why was he locked up, was he used for breeding. I dont think I have seen a Tibetan Terrier before. We have a Tibetan Mastiff who we see on our walks, he is scared of my tiny dogs . I have two long haired Chihuahuas, Teddy and Cody and Nutmeg who is a mixed breed who is a rescue from Romania and Georgie who is a Yorkie (and the boss). Is the MRI to see if you need more treatment? I hate waiting for scans etc. I am waiting for a MRI on my leg as I have found a lump. I am having palliative treatment but feel really well. My babies keep me very active which helps with my back pain.
