Yeah the two things are totally unlrealted, but I didn't want to start two threads...

First, my friend at work's dog needs some prayers. Coda is a 12 yr old Rat terrier mix, who has just been diagnosed with the first stges of Kidney failure. She spent the day at the vet's today and it seems there may be some concern about her heart as well. Please keep Coda and her family in your thoughts...


Much less serious, but still no fun, Cincy managed to cut the top of her back paw last night. We don't know how, but Ralph noticed it has we were getting ready for bed last night. They made a midnight run to the Vet ER, and came home with 3 staples, a badnage and an e-collar. Cincy has been greatabout not bugging the bandage, so we hve taken the collar off and Ralph stayed home with her today. She may have to wear it tomorrow though since we can't stay here with her...at least until she pays a visit to out vet tomorrow afternoon. She is really hoping this doesn't spoil her plans for swimming this weekend!!!
