Blaze (sable blaze) died at 3 years, 4 months of lymphoma. It was
very sudden and there was nothing we could do. We let her go on the
operating table.

Lany (panda) is still alive and well. Lany will be 7 y.o. on
Sunday. She just had her first illness/surgery (other than ECE) in
December, when she had her left adrenal removed. She is still
pretty active for an old girl <g>.
