First, I have been reading most of what is going on even if I have not
commented on everything so I know some of you are going through rough

Wow, time flies, Happy New Year!  Four has been a guest on the porch for a
month now. I looked at his wound this morning and it is considerable
smaller, great strides in that department. He is more comfortable with DH as
David has been around because of the holiday days off and ...
