I was in Missoula today, taking blind Goldie in for her second chemotherapy treatment and running errands, when Alayne got this photo of a trio of Beagles in our living room. That’s deaf Stuart on the left, blind Austin in the back, and blind Carmel on the right. Austin has this "I know something is going on in front of me" look, while Carmel was sound asleep.
We have several cots in the living room, and this one is the smallest. As I’ve written before, for some reason that makes it a magnet for the really big dogs, like blind Kenai, who hang over the edge in all four directions … or it is stuffed full with multiple smaller dogs crammed into it. Like three Beagles. It’s yet another mystery of the dog world.

Goldie is doing very well with her chemotherapy, and our internal medicine specialist in Missoula, Dr. Dave Bostwick, was delighted to hear she didn’t get sick from her first treatment. That means he still has never had a patient become sick from this particular chemo drug, vinblastine.
I was really touched by something else that happened at the clinic. When I walked in with Goldie this morning, Dave’s assistant, Tracy, said "It’s already paid for." I said, "What do you mean?" Well, it turns out that a wonderful couple in Missoula who are long-time supporters of the ranch had called Dave to say they were going to pay for Goldie’s treatment today. That was so sweet … a completely unexpected kindness that we really appreciated!
