it if you say "Hello" to him upon first seeing him after being out of
sight for a while.  One other person heard him do this last night ...

Good thing I didn't wait to take Rusty to TED. We just got back. TED
did a full urinary test and geriatric blood panel. There was blood in his
pee, and

I was just getting dinner, and left about a kilo of chicken on the bench
with the other dinner things while I fed the dogs. I was only outside for 30
