Round I
Non Sequitur had a recent series on Petey the dog. You can read it in seven parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.
It brought a smile to my face, and a tear to my eye. Even though it seems like I was the one who gave him a home, the truth is really that he was the one who rescued me.

Rocky's chemo had been postponed a couple of times, because of various difficulties that cropped up. But he finally had his first round today. Three hours now; so far, so good. No vomitting, no diarrhoea -- not yet.
I felt like one of those fathers who go into the delivery room, expecting to give their wives support through child-birth, and then fainting on the sight of blood. The amount of chemicals that they pumped into his little body made me want to throw up.
I didn't help at all, but somehow, he didn't mind.

First-time fathers are usually useless, but Rocky needs you to be strong yah? I truly hope he'll be A-ok...
12 hours in, and he's doing perfect. :) I couldn't be more proud. I really do feel like a new father. ;)
