Hi Carol!

Yeah, everything seems 'cheaper' now.. well, somethings at least..

Yes indeed.  I remember once going a year or two without wearing any earrings..
I was worried I'd have to have them done again (g).. but it was fine.  Just had
to find the darn spot in the ear (g).

That's cool :)  Alana is doing well at Goucher in MD.. had a rough few moments
with exams and tension due to fear of doing horribly in Chem. only to find out
that she did really really well (89 :))  I told her that's just how was in
college.. It's when I thought I did REALLY well that the opposite was true (g).

haha.. I know what you mean.. reminds me of how my dad used to always say,
"you're only 30 right??"  He _hated_ admitting how old we were 'cause then he'd
have to see how old he was :(

> Poor Priscilla!  Has she lost any weight?

Yes, she has.. that definitely helps.  But today I noticed a good improvement
when the grand-kids were here.. She got up to go outside and bumbled or tripped
a bit and fell down.  She got right back up!  THAT is the first time she's done
that in a LONG time.  It's been more like when she's laying down she has to go
through a lot of pain and maneuvering to get up at all.  I think that "joint
enhancer" (Chondroitin, Glucosamine, etc.) is really helping her to actually
grow more cartilege.  I hope it wasn't just a fluke today at least.

Well,l that's good.  It will help no doubt.  The funny thing is now Toby is
getting heavier.. I'm sure it's because I've been mixing 1/4 can of wet canned
food with their dry food so he's eating more instead of letting it lay around
haha.. so I'm making sure the TWO of them only eat "diet" dog food :)

If I did that with these 4 kittens, it would be a madhouse in here haha

Yep, that's what I figure.. I give her beef broth from steak bones, etc.. she
loves that stuff.. didn't think to give her chicken broth.. good idea!

Yes, I've seen that. I buy them sometimes for soup for us.. but save some for
the silly pup :) I'll have to check our asian grocery.. didn't think of that!

>> > Me, I am the one really miffed.  I got'em for ME!  poot.

>> Lol.. probably not a bad idea :)
>>

>> Yes, better than stealing poor Cash's :)

> Grr.  Cash, leggo my marrow bone!

> *sigh* He's convinced if it's a bone, it must be for him.

Know the face!!!  They look so innocent when they're saying it to ya :) :)

Take care,
Janis
