Thank you all for your interest in and support of Sophie and I during this stressful time waiting for the biopsy results. My intuition told me it was serious, that is was cancer and the biopsy results confirmed that it was. The good news is though, they feel very confident that they were able to get all it of during surgery and that it hadn't yet spread into the surrounding tissue.
I can't tell you the relief I feel, how thankful I am, i can finally let out that big sigh i've been holding in and just relax. Long may her days be, running through the field, exploring the woods, and being right by my side.

I've been teary over Sophie. I'm so happy and relieved at the good news. Sending love to both of you and all the rest of the living things by the Tahuya River.
