Dear Tracy. I am so relieved to hear from you! I am so glad to hear that your Dad is making steady progress. Having a wonderful daughter like you is of great comfort to him, I'm sure. I pray he will be home very soon, being smothered with heaps of healing doggie love!! As for you, I think a "doggie vacation" is the best Rx for our sweet Pet Talk friend! I wish you and Winter and Smudge lots of luck in your upcoming trials! Maybe Smudge and Winter will paw off a final report on the event? They tell a great story! Hugs to you sweet Tracy, and to Smudge and Winter! We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers, with positive thoughts for your Dad's full recovery! Love, Sandra, Star and Cody.
