Sounds like you're teaching in College Station? Lucky to be near people like Dr. Barton and also Dr. Hulse, whom we've dealt with both of them on some of our dogs. One of ours went thru hip replacement in the mid 90's with Dr. Hulse and then treatment with Dr Barton in 99 and 00, but was too far to stop. But I think the chemo gained us a few extra months of quality time to enjoy having her with us.
Carbon caught my eye because he looks like a brother to one of our other girls. Good luck to Carbon!
