Aw, those poor liddle gimme pigs. We hope they soon find owt that veggies are good! Angie, reportin frum GIG tomorra

I'm sorry I posted before Doug got back from the eye doctors. He saw the surgeon---well, the surgeon's son, who is taking over the practice---and he said Doug's eye looks fine. I guess his doctor (who is not a surgeon) just wanted to err on the side of caution, since Doug has had problems in the past. He'll see the father in August. And he sees Dr. Wecksler, his cancer doctor, next Tuesday to go over the results of his PET scan. Just to explain everything, I guess, since the radiation doctor said there wasn't bad news. I had to take one of the new migraine meds today. I'm starting to have the pain in the back of my head again. Not excruciating, but I'm going to try not to let it get that way. I take another pill tonight, then I can't take more for several days. I think, while it's not relieving the pain totally, it is helping. Nancy, that is awesome---25 years of volunteering! You and your dogs are heroes. Think of how many lives you have made better. I'm so sorry Pap still can't come home. Chris, yes, the groups in Spain are really trying to increase the number of dogs they are sending to the US. More Greyhound groups are stepping up. We forgot to say that we hope Tinker's bloodwork is okay. It seems a lot of elderly cats are prone to hyperthyroidism. Stay safe, our folks out there in "the middle." Oh, Robin, what a shame. As former landlords, we've always prioritized good dependable renters over any concerns about animals. Too bad they aren't more trusting of a responsible person, and that it is costing you more money.

Dad had an appoyntmint wiff his eye dockter this mornin, an he is conserned abowt his left eye. He had the katerack sergery yeers ago, an it dint go well. He has a buckle in that eye, an it is distorted, an the dr wants Dad to go to his eye sergeon today. So he called to say he is on his way there. So eberybuddy is wurried. We knew Dads site wuz knot good, but we hope its knot sumfin rilly bad. He duz need that katerack sergery on his rite eye, wich I gess wood help. But he finks it is allays sumfin, an if sumfin cood go rong, it wood. Me an Mom an Kiva feel bad fer him. Oh, Miss Ducky, fanks fer postin abowt FBM. Mom just dint know. That is so bery sad. Mom dint fink it wood get so bad fer them, but I gess it is bad all ober, si? FBM is in bedder shape then Scooby, wich is old an isnt abel to do repairs as offin as needed. They are habbin a hard thyme too---wiff dogs allays needin rescood, an adopshuns an donayshuns down. They prolly hab klose to 1,000 animals, cowntin the ducks an chickins an horses an pigs an donkeys. An Misser Fermin is gettin old, an is wurried abowt who wood be abel to take ober. But FBM is set up bedder, wiff bedder fasilities. Ob corse, it haz bin 10 yeers sinse she wuz there. She went on there web site yestiddy, an saw so minny dogs she wishes she cood adopt.

Ja, ja, Miss Elizabeth, that bananer plant duz look kinda weerd. Mom finks it is pritty---she has nebber seen blooms like that on a bananer plant. We shure hope Pap can come home soon! How minny daze haz it bin now? Aw, that is sad that the rescoo in Qatar had to klose too. We are sorry you hab moore sqwirms, Roman. Poor Misser Jim.
