How about three greys and a mutt?

Hello Stenograsaurus and all! I took what was meant to be a brief hiatus from Pet Talk late last year, and ended up being gone longer than expected! I began lurking a couple of months ago, but I was disheartened by the whole Maddie the dog rescue situation, and I felt that it wasn't the right time for me to return!
(I am not saying that I was mad, or making any judgements on doggiemom, but I was just saddened and broken-hearted and totally upset by the situation, and didn't feel comfortable stepping back onto the board feeling that way.)
I don't mean to be re-hashing this bad period and bad emotions for PetTalkers, but I feel that I had to offer some explanation about why I was gone for months!
I've caught lots from lurking now and then - I've very sorry for your losses: AntiPam's Murf, Dixie's Aunt Jazz, and anyone I may have missed.
My dogs are all doing greyt! Boo developed a nasty habit of eating poop (but we think we fixed it now ), Buddy is the same sweet guy (we plan to sign him up for therapy dog classes in May), Paula injured her foot a few weeks ago, and needed stitches, and Pup is the same sweet yet aggressive little girl (she just got her summer haircut yesterday, and her ears look bigger than ever!).
DH and I are both fine - Joe is still working on his PhD, hoping to finish soon!
Thanks for asking!
