Thanks for the cheery words guys. The day seems to have
evened out pretty well. (Knock wood). It's not over yet.
I didn't make it home at lunch time so Smokey has been out
in the yard all day now. He did eat breakfast before he turned
into a wild man this a.m. & the temp's been in the mid 60's, so
he should be alright. I think the thing that really ticked me off
this morning, is that I didn't notice the mud all up & down my
right side as I walked into the office from the parking garage
or in the elevator ride up to my floor. I wonder what people must
have thought that saw me. Oh well, if they were dog
lovers they would have understood.

p.s. I really hope that ointment was left in the house somewhere.
