Prince Albert

If you follow us over on The Scottie Chronicles, you know that our Winston loves to go to the Farmers’ Market every Saturday. And you know that he’s sometimes a pissy Scottie.

There’s a lovable little Schnauzer he sees from time to time and this morning Prince Albert gave Winston the Schnauzer “lean in” and the two started to catch up with each other. Saying “hello” and “how’ve you been buddy?”

I noticed two shaved areas where coat was growing back and said, “aw, there’s a little IV shave.”

“He’s got hemangiosarcoma,” his peep told me.

I started crying and couldn’t stop. The searing pain of the shotgun through my heart when we learned Stuart had it came back with a fury.

Thank you for your support. Your gifts to Stuart’s Fund will help get rid of hemangio. The clinical trials your gifts help fund are working diligently to figure out this cancer.

Prince Albert may not have very long to live, but he’s living every day to the fullest. And we were grateful for the chance to play with him a bit this morning. As his peep says, “he doesn’t even know he’s sick.”

Thank you for what you’re doing to help say no to hemangio.
