Cleo, That is very nice and you have every right to be proud. Like stated above you can buy the chain and hooks at most lumber or hardware stores. I did for mine. It is nice looking and very functional. I built mine more what I would call industrial but like him used scrap I had from electrical work. I'm one who admires those who use what they have and use their noggin to design it. Very good workmanship. Will be waiting for a picture with it in use. Jay

You get a today. Sue

Thank you, Radar. I really don't know what he thinks of it, but I do wonder that, too. If he's talked to DH about it, I know my husband did not mention to him that Sue came on to him, as well. Perhaps, after they got back together, they were hoping that we would call and arrange to do something together again. When we didn't, because (1) I was very angry still at Sue for trying to have an affair or whatever with my husband and (2) because we were both very upset and, yes, angry at how Sue helped destroy our mutual friends' marriage they most likely thought that it was because of the latter reason. Thankfully, though, it hasn't ruined DH and Jim's longtime golf games together. But, from what I've been told, the talk during golf and after in the clubhouse is pretty much just about everything golf related.

I doubt this is it because it passed so quickly, but my dog has had two bouts with vestibular syndrome. Just a thought. "Vestibular disease refers to a sudden, non-progressive disturbance of balance. It is more common in older dogs. It is also referred to as old dog vestibular syndrome and canine idiopathic vestibular syndrome. " "Vestibular syndrome refers to a group of diseases that affect the balance system (also known as the vestibular system). Common signs of vestibular syndrome in dogs and cats include loss of balance, falling, rolling over, abnormal flickering of the eyes and general wobbliness." "While the signs can be severe for 48 to 72 hours, those with old dog vestibular syndrome often improve gradually over the next few days to weeks. ... With prompt veterinary attention, most dogs with old dog vestibular syndrome — and strokes — eventually recover." My dog doesn't spend too much time outside either, she's mostly in an air conditioned house. But extreme heat still seems to throw her off her game. Maybe it's the barometric pressure or something.
