" I think cancer is going to kill our dog!'

The above sentence was uttered by Rhonda 10 minutes ago.
Already mischievous by nature, Buddy has been dabbling in some especially dangerous behaviors these days. Today he attempted to eat an organic dark chocolate bar, two days ago he got into the ambien. He won't eat his food in the kitchen anymore, but instead scrambles away with it as though we are trying to steal his kibble. He is feeling our stress deeply, and we are having a hell of a time keeping up with him.

As one friend wrote, "Poor, neurotic Buddy!"
