I wish you good luck with all the hospital stuff. I know it must be scary. I was terrified to just have an outpatient thing done not too long ago. And the puppy sounds hilarious! Duke does that puppy mode thing after he's had a bath. It is so funny! I guess he just feels so good that he's got to tear around the house. Of course, I help getting him revved up. It's great to watch. Animals can be a great comfort when you're going through difficult times. Pm me if you need to talk sometime.
I didn't see the pics until after I wrote this. She is gorgeous!! What kind of dog is she?
