happy & healthy

"one of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick." ~rabbi harold kushner
i have just returned from visiting with lucy's surgeon where i learned that she is 95-100% healed. woo hoo! she is cleared to return to normal activity though she should ease into "tearing around the yard or beach." oh...bummer...looks like "normal activity" will have to wait....

as i was giving my thanks to dr. maraglit she bent down and said to lucy, "good luck, lucy. i wish i could be your full time doctor, but i can't. you are simply one of my all time favorites. i love you." after that tear jerking speech she set her sights on wil and called him "the cutest thing i have ever seen." as you can imagine, i hugged her and walked out of the building puffed like a peacock.

welcome back to health, lucy! now...please, for the love of humanity, stay that way.

that's awesome...and now you can put that whole thing behind you once and for all. what a nightmare...

and i am not at all surprised that you have bonded with your vet. you should tell her your "fur is wrong" story. i bet she agrees...

hooray!

Finally! Now, can Lucy babysit Saturday night? No one entertains my boys better. I confess, she's my favorite dog and you know it takes a lot for me to admit that! So happy she's well. Take her for a victory trot through THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Is she going with you this weekend? I'm sure Hank would love to see his girl back up and "running."

YEAH LUCY!!!!!!!!!!

now remember to tell your mommy and daddy to bring your leash along to aunt t's this weekend, because i don't want your a** getting run over by a horse and buggy every again. we will have to keep the pool gate closed at all times and the garage doors closed. oh and by the way your boyfriend hank can't wait to see you.

congratulations on a good report from the doctor. love you lu
