Seven Years ago at this time of year I learned I had Cancer and was facing the New Year with Chemo and Radiation treatment to look forward to. I made it through treatment and was doing fine for a while until radiation/Chemo treatment side effects started to show up. There were periods when I was really in despair and then Koko came into my life and rescued me when I thought things couldn't get worst. Unfortunately my side effects continued to take its toll, but koko was still there to prop me up. One side effect made my speech at times so bad that I stopped most of my contact with the outside world and my normal circle of Mountain Bike friends. For several years I had been elder spokes person for our close group. Because of my speech I was no longer comfortable even attending meetings. This left a big void in my life because for years I defined myself as being a mountain biker.
Because of Koko I found Pet talk and all of the wonderful people world wide. I know my written communication skills leave a lot to be desired, still I have Pet talk as window to the outside world that has enriched my life beyond words. I look forward every day to logging on and at least lurking through the pages of the pet world. The positive and often sad post have given me a window to the wonderful world we all share. I have made many friends that I will treasure forever. I hope I haven't made to many enemies with my sometimes to quick to post comments. I hope that everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, prosperous New Year. Koko and Rascal sends their
licks and head butts to all.
