I heard from Carolyn Jordan this morning. She said to thank the people here who sent contributions via Paypal (which she's still working out how to use) and told me a story about a Great Pyrenees that was delivered from a shelter in Ozark County. The dog had badly matted fur and was not very tame....

Thanks all for the good wishes in respect of Vernon's snapped achilles tendon. His first night in plaster was not too bad. I had his foot raised up on pillows so there was no swelling (which would have been agony). He's up, breakfasted, washed, shaved & dressed and already at his desk working....

Chip Dunham, the comic strip artist who draws "Overboard", paid a lovely tribute to his Labrador Basil in the June 30th strip (link...

How is Adam? Do you have him on a daily medicine maintenance program? If so? What does he take?

Suki and Pickle ocasionally engage in mutual grooming. Usually they do each ohers head and ears. I figure that this is mutually beneficial as cats can't lick their own heads & ears. So I was just doingmy usual newsgroup thing this morning,whilstout the corner of my left eye, Pickle & Suki were...

Needless to say I've been rather busy since I returned to SC. Please accept blanket purrs for whatever reason they may be needed. OB Cats: Persia has now taken over the house :D Last night at bedtime I looked for her and noticed the door to the walk-in closet was slightly closed. I went in...

I have been adding Cosequin to Amber and Tiger's food for about a month. It's really for Amber who at 13 seems a bit lame. The way I feed them I have to mix it in the food for both of them. Amber seems to be moving a little better so I will keep it up. (I am taking glucosamine/chondroitin for my...
