     I think you know I'm a cancer survivor tom. By the time it was diagnosed it was Stage 3, stage 4 being the worst which you undoubtedly know. Early detection  would have allowed it to be caught sooner and the protocol might have been entirely different. I'm here and healthy now so no complaints. But some cancers, like pancreatic, are so deadly that when they are diagnosed it's usually too late to save life. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday.

    I have read that too NJ. Perhaps there is a subtle "fragrance" or "smell" that is given off and the dog smells it.  Just as they can hear things humans can't. I totally agree with you about the destruction of our planet and the living things within it.  I think you may know that prez donjohn unprotected most of our National Parks which means that all the greedy bas**rds can come into them and drill for oil or chop down trees and build apartment buildings or malls or do whatever the he** they wanna do! Also drilling for oil in the ocean is unprotected. Florida pitched a bit** about it and they are now off the hook. But the donjohn HATES California. We aren't so lucky. Thank you for your reply D and Happy Saturday to thee! :)

    Apologies sweetie. I call him doofus don, donjohn. His name is Donald John Trump. He doesn't give a rat's a** about anything but himself and money. He will do anything to get more of if for himself and make it possible for his obscenely wealthy cronies to make more of it so they will continue to kiss his corpulant a**! SIGH. We are in such dire straights over here m'dear. The jacka**es shut down the govenrment rather than  keep it open. There WAS a bipartisan agreement to which everyone subscribed until doofus don aka donjohn shot it down. What are ya gonna do when a doofus is calling the shots and shooting down things to which he agreed? Thank you for your deply D!
