Less than a week ago we got the good news that Mr. Rogers doesn’t have cancer. Now, we are worried about Ufi’s liver.
The title says it all: Mr. Rogers does not have cancer!
Mr. Rogers had his left eye removed yesterday. Going into the surgery, we were hopeful his long-term eye problem had become glaucoma and removing the eye would make him better. The vet believes there is an 80 percent chance Mr. Rogers has cancer.
After my last personal update, I thought I would share news about Emma and Mr. Rogers.

This year in review will have two main sections:
