Thank you everybody. It is really nice to be back! I felt so bad for being gone for so long, but I really was having a rough time. Days are still a blur at times....but everyday gets better. Last Monday (9/21) was Dave and my one year anniversary, and last Sunday (9/27) was one year for Dave's mom....we can't believe it's been that long since she passed.

Our pups really help us get by sometimes. Especially Piglet....he is so comical and the love that him and Scruff share for each is just amazing. Scruff will lay by Pigs and lick him constantly, and Pigs will do the same. Piglet is never far from our site....he always has to see us. The vet and some dog trainers say that is normal for deaf dogs. He adores us all and we really love him too. Butch is getting so much better. Today when I let him out of his crate (he is crated at night, as is Piglet), he was so excited that he actually jumped on me! Nearly knocked me down...he is so strong. He weighs about 85lbs...big boy!

Thank you again for all the nice comments and the "welcome backs"! It warms my heart to have such good PT friends!
