Wow! Here we are our own blog!

Hi, it's Leuk and Mia here. We are now part of the whole blogging scene, we even have our own email now too!

I already know our journeys are going to be so much fun, why not blog them. Our Mama is hoping this idea sweeps the nation for those suffering from disabling illness that keep us housebound and wouldn't let us to get places we couldn't see except through the eyes of others. Wouldn't it be great!

A short story about our Mama, her name is Tracy she lives in a Bow, NH, us dogs like to call it Bow Wow, NH. She is currently fighting her third bout with cancer in a 20 year time span. In 1989, she was only 15 when she found out she had Hodgkin's Disease, she was treated with both chemothearpy and radiation to beat it. Her Hodgkin's Disease resurfaced again in 2004, she was 29, because she had HD in the past they had to figure what course of treatment to use because the cancer wouldn't respond to the original form of treatment, your body builds resistance to the drugs. She beat it again in 2004. Unfortunately, October 8, 2008 she found out she had leukemia and it was probably from the first course of treatment she received in 1989. She is doing great on treatment, responding well. Next month she is going to receive a stem cell transplant, that will hopefully keep her cancer away for good!

Our Mama is one of the most creative people we know. She came up with this great idea, to have us visit with family and friends, whether they are going to their favorite restaurant, or traveling to Hawaii, we want to be there to make great memories for Mama. She wants to see the world through us while she is at home recovering from her transplant next month. During our travels our friends write in our journals and take pictures of us in great places or with great people, etc. This is going to be so much fun for Leuk and I, I can barely wait. Leuk is already on his adventures and I heard he had a great time, when Mama gets the pics I will be sure to have her upload them. I leave on my first adventure on Tuesday for a 2 1/2 week world wind tour of Florida and I may even get to stay and have my kibble on a yacht.

Leuk and I will keep you posted on all of the wonderful places we have gone to or will be going to. We look forward to getting to know everyone.

Wet licks,
Mia
