The Dog Lived (and so will I): April 2012

Beagles, Unicorns and Butterflies

Just a little reminder that all of those things (well, if unicorn = breast cancer) are still being discussed, it's just that now we're over at: www.teresarhyne.com

(And just for the record...I kind of miss Blogger. Word Press is wildly difficult for me to learn!)

Breast Cancer, Canine Cancer, Books, Dogs & Wine

I'm talking about it all. But I'm now talking about it over here: www.teresarhyne.com
Please follow me over there and let me know what you think of the new site.

Change of Address

Well, we've done it.
The Dog Lived (and So Will I) has moved. The blog is now over on Wordpress. You can find us here:
teresarhyne.com/blog and when you get there, you'll see we have a whole, big website to. (Cue "He's Famous and He Knows It" reprisal!) I hope you'll head over to the new site and follow us there. Or like us. Or share us. Or Tweet us....or whatever the heck is the new thing to do to us. This new site has been a long exhausting process, but I hope you'll find it's worth it. I also hope I can now get back to the regular program of you know, actual blogging. See you over at TeresaRhyne.com!

Why The Title

I hate and refuse to read/ watch/ acknowledge any story involving a dog--because I love dogs and the dog in a movie/ book/ whatever always dies. I can't handle that.

When I found out I had cancer I said to Chris (writer, significant other; in case there is a soul reading this who doesn't know that) "If I die, given that Seamus lived, you have to write the memoir "The Dog Lived." I love the irony. Seamus (our beagle) was diagnosed with cancer more than 3 years ago and was told (okay, right, I was told; Seamus still doesn't know) that he would live maybe a year. Instead he's cancer-free and well into remission. That would be the great irony of my life story--the dog lives. I don't.

Not surprisingly, Chris was not amused and did not want to write that memoir. Oh, and my prognosis is not at all that grim. So instead, in a rare mood I'm attempting to just put a positive spin on things. The Dog Lived...and so will I.

For Those of You Over the age of 35

It seems we've learned the age cut-off for understanding how a blog works (i.e. Chris or younger = you get it). So here's a few hints:

1) if you are new to the blog you actually start at the bottom (scroll down) for the first entry and then work your way up.

2) if you want to leave a comment, click on the "# comments" phrase (it will actually say 0 or 1 or 6 ...an actual number) at the end of each post (okay, "article" if the word "post" was too bloggy for you). A window will open with the other comments and a box where you can type in your comment. You don't have to have an account. Just fill in the "Name/URL" with how you want to identify yourself and then click on the "Publish Post" button.

3) comments are how I know you care. ;-)
