:wub: Congrats on the end of chemo, Heather. Benson is a doll. Is he a schnauzer? And what about the little black baby? He’s cute too. Guess what, I have a dress just like the one you’re wearing. I haven’t worn mine yet, I just got it. Have a great 4th of July, you, your family, and your doggies. –Susan C. :heart:

Congratulations Heather! It’s totally marvelous that you have finished chemo. And thank you…I had a call-back mammogram and ultrasound today and from reading of your journey through cancer and chemo, I knew that I could find the strength to get through whatever might lie ahead. Praise God, it was determined to be benign cysts.
Awwwww! What a great present!
Krissi from Krississippis last blog post..Blog Nosh – I’m Featured!

I still don’t think its right that you look the good with no hair! You are very pretty. They dog is cute too…….
Oh. My. How adorable is Benson! You post on your other puppy is one reason I started looking a schnauzers when I wanted a puppy. And I ended up getting a minature schnauzer in October of last year! I love her… they are such good dogs.
Hope Benson brings you JOY!

You look blessed! All of you look blessed! Benson is adorable. We love dogs around here. What kind is he? Enjoy him and the kids this summer and try to forget about any sickness! This is the advice our Urologist gave my DH when his PSA came back 0.00. I think it is excellent advice! ((((hugs))))
PRAISE GOD!
Congratulations on the end of your chemo Heather! I have never commented here, but have been a faithful reader and prayer! Benson is so cute…my mom would love him! And what an adorable name for a dog! I love it. God bless you, I will continue to pray for you!
