Well we actually got ours! Arghh I would guess we got an easy six inches but no way I am trying to explain that here, what with Hoppy being so innocent and Steph on a roll.

What do the pups think?

Well I am trying desperately to keep the fresh spayed one down but they love the snow. It makes them crazy playfull. I even barricaded the door to the kennel to keep them inside. They have their own door that leads out to a 25 ft by sixty ft enclosure. They worked together to move the barricade out of the way. After watching them work so hard together to move the barricade I just let them go. Doctors orders, no running and short leash walks only. The pup starts her day, everyday with a four mile run. I tried to explain to the vet she was a working dog but he was not listening. I am doing my best to keep her throttled down, Benadryl is my next step. Shepards are Shepherds, the breed is oblivious to discomfort and focus on task at hand period, no deviation. They are the epitome of “Ride or Die”

I was wondering how poorly your patient was acting.

Good luck Amigo. Unenviable task
 
On a serious note a quick prayer request. As some of you know Jodis Sister is terminally ill. No happy ending or recovery options, simply a matter of time. Jodi flew out this week to help with yet another surgery. Surgery went well but they took so much material out they cannot close the wound and she will get skin grafts to cover it. As a result she has a mechanical vacuum device covering the wound to ensure it stays clean. The stupid insurance company still will not respond to allow her to take the portable version of the device home while they wait to do the skin graft. She is getting phenomenal care at the hospital as a result of working there, she is the head pharmacist for the hospital. The insurance company is fighting with Drs and pathology lab to ensure margins were good on remaining tissue. At no point has the insurance exhibited any kind of concern for the patients well being. I am once again disgusted with our Insurance industry in this Country! Apologies for rant. Back to original request please give out some prayers for Sister Terri at the hospital in Oregon. Thx

Prayers are coming your way.
 
Morning

Woke up to the news that my father in law has passed away. We used to be as close as in-laws could be but the events from two years ago, we became estranged. By his own choosing. Wife is acting numb to it as she says she’s been dead in his mind since but I think it’ll hit her hard very soon.

There 's a brace that they have to wear a few times a day for about an hour for their leg to make it bend and go straight again so they get full range of motion...

They have to do that for about a week after surgery...
