Thank you Diana and Carl for taking Cinder, Smoke and Heidi over Christmas and New Year. That is exactly how Phred wants it, I'm sure, with one less thing to worry about, knowing his dogs are in good hands.

I'm relieved to hear he is stable and able to get some rest - that will hopefully give him a bit of strength. If only he will start eating, too!

I also think it's a good idea to maybe put the phone calls on hold for a few days, we don't want to tire him out more, and he has problems hearing as well. Perhaps the hospital will let us send some e-mails they can print out for him?

Lots more get well wishes and hugs to you, Phred!
