Nightmare Dog-Owner: July 2010
http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Sunday, 25 July 2010. Tour de California and Tour de France. On the last day of the Tour de France, it is fitting that I found the list of those whose names are on the Radio Shack bikes. It appeared while I was in the hospital.). 27 cancer survivors, carers and relatives made it. At No. 37, my friends, family, supporters and strangers got Nick and me awfully close. On the other hand...

http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Monday, 29 November 2010. Update for the week. Visiting most days occupies much of my time and I am her preferred masseur for her back and feet. Best wishes to all from both of us. Wednesday, 17 November 2010. Still secure with Nala on guard. Thursday, 11 November 2010. We had sun today for the first time in three days which cheered me and the dogs a little. Friday, 5 November 2010.

Nightmare Dog-Owner: Second anniversary
http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2012/12/second-anniversary.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Sunday, 16 December 2012. The 16th December marks the second anniversary of the death of Margot and another year without much being told on this blog. Sadly, this year also brought the death of both the Chows which inspired this blog and thus further marks the end of a story. Van-Ly died a couple of months later when her kidneys finally gave up after a year or more on a careful diet.

Nightmare Dog-Owner: Wonderful memory
http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2011/01/wonderful-memory.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Saturday, 15 January 2011. I have just been given this wonderful photo which was taken at Rémuzat's village fête back at the end of August. Its me on the left, our friend Veronique in the centre, and Margot on the right. It brings back memories of a happy warm summer evening which unfortunately was probably the last time that we were out and about together. Nick. Dennis Pyritz, RN.

Nightmare Dog-Owner: April 2010
http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Wednesday, 21 April 2010. The Full Monty - Public Premiere. Halfway to the hospital today I realised I'd forgotten my hat. Nick hadn't noticed, either. So we went to the hospital, the DIY place, grocery shopping, lunch and the car repair place with my head showing. I didn't see people falling over, so I know what my new look will be in case my hair never comes in nicely. Happy 50th ...

Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Thursday, 16 December 2010. Margot died this evening. I spent the afternoon with her reading the latest cards from the family and listing the people who were thinking of her. I told her not to worry. When I arrived home the hospital called with the news. She wanted to be buried here in our village so tomorrow I will be arranging that. Love to all our friends, Nick. Joleen and the pei.

Nightmare Dog-Owner: May 2010
http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Friday, 28 May 2010. You'll remember that we have a new flat screen 100cm (40in.) television. We had to order a demodulator for satellite reception from England and it arrived yesterday. As I write, I am watching a 2005 production of The Marriage of Figaro. Sigh So good. I just had to write this. This is why I don't argue with Nick about having a television. I'm told that, in the wi...

Nightmare Dog-Owner: On the move
http://nightmaredogowner.blogspot.com/2010/12/on-move.html
Mostly about dogs, but books as well. And sometimes I have other stuff on my mind. And now: a blog about my ovarian cancer. Friday, 10 December 2010. Margot's uncle made a visit from the States last weekend which was a wonderful thing to do. He is her closest remaining relative and his visit made a big difference for both of us although Margot still managed to sleep through a good part of his time here. 10 December 2010 at 20:48:00 CET. Praying for you both. 10 December 2010 at 21:25:00 CET. Glad they we...
