As some folks know, about 5 years ago my doggie Alex got leukemia. She beat the odds amazingly and went into remission and a year ago went off treatment completely. I was very lucky to get to have her so much longer than expected. She’s meant a lot to me; Alex saved my sanity during the time that my niece was missing by keeping my mind occupied — helping to interrupt racing thoughts about the terrible things that were happening to my niece. Alex was essential to my coming out of that time period with my head intact. Cute pics of our times together at: http://www.lilaclane.com/americaneskimo/alex/

Unfortunately luck has run a little dry because now Alex just got diagnosed with bladder cancer. I’m hoping with good treatment she can hang in for another 6 months or so.

Money is tight and I want to put it toward necessities including Alex’s treatment. So we won’t be going to FetishCon this year after all. I apologize profusely because I’ve been stating on my site for months that we definitely would be there. Sorry for misinforming anybody.

This news has made me a little depressed, so to not think about it I’ve been hiding in Second Life for the past week or so. Built a bondage ranch there with some ponygirl friends. A good distraction.
