one year, another milestone

Dave has officially beat the statistics. He's been alive a year since we discovered his enlarged lymph nodes and took him to the vet. Considering that dogs that come out of remission don't get good prognoses, and that treating with Prednisone usually only lasts for a couple of months, we have gotten lucky to have had him with us for this long. Is it the trial vaccine kicking in, allowing him to live normally with enlarged lymph nodes? Probably, but as silly as it may sound, I think Dave is a bit of a fighter.
