I know how ya feel Maureen, I've had umpteen friggin dental appointments since Lakair and Last Tuesdays was the most painful by far. On Oct. 10th I came home to find my 14 year old Chocolate Lab had passed away sometime during the day while I was at work.
But the worst thing happened yesterday when my wife witnessed our 6 mo. old Border Collie getting hit by some excellent person in a van that didn't even stop. I was at Home Depot buying some caulking for the house and she had to pick the pup up and rush her to the emergency clinic 25 mi. away, as of 5:00 p.m. last night it looks like the pup will survive (I'm praying she will)... but with the vet bill for emergency treatment and the pups condition... I doubt I'll be able to come up to Canada for Christmas.
