Hey Pat, his surgery is on the 26th. I am being ultra positive. At the same time my work is really a drag. Can you make nice vegetarian meals and ship um? Yum. Moving Jennie is the right thing. Problem is she loves me and the critters and will miss us. She will be well loved. So just now I was brushing a few of the little dogs as hubby took them for a run and they returned covered in burdocks. Now I am curious, do these exist everywhere? There is a town nearby that has a competition each year for the biggest plant! I for one am tired of pulling little prickers out of my clothes when I am through with the brushing.
