I have been following this thread but haven't had a chance to post until now.
I'm glad to hear that Phred is doing better and that he may be able to get online and check out all the good wishes for him in this thread soon.

Get well soon Phred! You have always been there for everyone else on Pet Talk now it is your turn for us all to be there for you. I hope you still have your buddy Mr Bear with you to help you feel better soon. All of his Vermont relatives say hello and send get well soon wishes to you too.
