A little levity, please!

I think this has been the longest time away from this blog. I created this in order to track my training with Moto, and, well, there hasn't been a whole lot of that. I found out my brother-in-law has cancer, we have yet to determine the severity of it and his prognosis or the course of his treatment, but it's really really scary. A mass is in his chest and it was determined it was cancer. Anything inside your body cavity that is cancerous is very scary. My sister is dealing with it by crying a lot, and her friends have rallied round her which is great. I'm far away and feel helpless and have been really pissed off I guess. Poor hubby, I just blow up at little things and then apologize.
Shiloh has always been a jumping fanatic - it's in his lineage - but since he's been deaf he's attempted amazing jumps and I've found him on top of the darndest things. Like, the washing machine. The crates. He's leapt over the ex-pen enclosure in the basement. He'll be 10 in June so while he's not OLD old, he's no spring chicken, and he injured his spine and lost partial use of his left rear leg. This requires physical therapy twice a week. He's making good progress and he'll be fine over time, I'll just need to crate him whenever I leave the house from this point forward.
Blitz has re-opened an old nasty wound he had. It took a long time to heal, and for whatever reason it is back. I've always feared the infections would get him before the disease did. So, I need to dress and bandage his leg twice a day. While he still has a great attitude, I can tell that he's slipped away from me a bit more.
So....needless to say I've not had a great sense of humor these days, and while I love the snow, it's been a brutal winter with terrifying driving conditions so lots of time at home. I should have used it to train, but I just haven't had the heart. I've done some here and there but not a lot.
It's supposed to warm up tomorrow, and we're to have a few days above freezing. I'm looking foward to getting out a bit, training Moto and getting my mind off all these troubles.
Yes, oh yes it could be worse but it certainly could be better.
I hope in my brother in law's case, it gets better. And soon.
