Patty has her first "field trip" today. This will be her first time out since having surgery on 11/29. "WE'RE GOING TO JEWEL" to do some much needed food shopping and she is ecstatic about getting out of the house! Then she wants to sneak into the kennel to say hi to the dogs, but I told her no, I now have them unspoiled! :>}} Gary ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
