If it’s true that chimpanzees have 97% of the human genome, surely dogs also have a high number to have become “our best friends.”

He looks like he is well experienced riding in the car. Glad you are enjoying those beautiful days you are having. Here in Mi. we are having beautiful, low humidity (at least for a couple of days). I hope I will get a sign soon that the Vidaza is working for me. I hope it gets to work on rebuilding my platelets, that is a big problem for me right now. I read your words and they lift me up to try for better days ahead. I am weak and sure don’t like that feeling. But it will be worth all my problems if someday they tell me I am in remission like you have been. Sending Prayers your way, Sheila

I’ve often wondered how the close relationship between humans and dogs (well, at least with most dogs) came about. My daughter has two of mixed breeds and they treat me as if I’m some kind of royalty. Their exuberance is a delight.
