Leo has cancer.

Leo is my border collie.  He's 8 1/2.  Yesterday, I found out that Leo has lymphoma - a common, treatable, but ultimately uncurable cancer of the lymphatic system.  Treatment, in the form of chemotherapy, can result in average remission times of about 12 months.  He's otherwise healthy, and starting treatment soon.  Statistically, he should be around to be naughty, go on hikes, chase sheep, and be Leo for at least another year or so.
This will be the record of that year, and hopefully more.
