BillyMalc Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I know it's a tiny bit early to post, BUT ......... tomorrow is Malcolm's 7th Gotcha Day !!!!!!!! I've been a bit all weekend, just thinking about the last year and everything we've been through. This time last year I was so happy that he'd at least made it to his 6th Gotcha Day, after he had been diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma in August '07. I just thought that, as long as he'd make it past christmas, everything else would be a bonus. Then, in March of this year, Mal was diagnosed with leishmania, which really put the icing on the cake Ever since we've started treatment though, both for his lymphoma and his leishmania, Malcolm has grown from strength to strength, and at this moment I can safely say that he is stronger, more energetic and more confident than he's ever been before Just a few piccies of my gorgeous man: Looking rather regal in Delamere forest in March: On 'holiday' with me and my mum in the Lake District in May: Winning 2 (!!) rosettes at his first ever fun dog show! This was the first time that I felt that Mal would feel confident enough to be comfortable - and he was, as soon as he understood that there were treats to be had! He obviously was so confident and at ease that he managed to get a bit of eye shut inbetween classes Enjoying the sunshine during a walk in Eccleston: Being nosey during our holiday in Northumberland: And enjoying watching Anne Robinson presenting The Weakest Link Taken last week, in the snow during an early morning walk in Chorlton Water Park We've kind of celebrated Mal's Gotcha Day today with a nice long walk in the woods by the airport. I wanted to take pictures, but the combination of dense fog and a flat battery didn't really help. Mal's had a Hotterdog fleece in royal (!) navy, which he loves. After today it's gonna have its first wash though, coz it's filthy!! We all really enjoyed our walk though, and extra treats. For dinner we had thick pea soup with greens and smokey tofu, which I know Mal loves, with pudding afters, and to celebrate a little bit tomorrow too we'll be having ratatouille, which has appeared to be another one of his favourites. My 'Mr' Malcolm, I could never tell you how much I love you but I think you already know :bigheart3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
