I'm always anxious to read about Kirk, since that's my John's middle name (his family calls him Kirk). I told him about his "namesake" and he said his hips are going to start going soon too and maybe he'll see your vet!
Relieved and pleased that the Big Snip went well. Positive, loving thoughts being sent over the miles for a speedy, safe, healthy recovery on Kirk's hip surgery. xoxoxox
