Good morning everyonbe. Still no package, and no mail today as we all know it's a holiday. We have been sleeping in so much later these last few days, that not sure we'll hear the alarm tomorrow when it's time to get up for school! My granddaughter had off as of Friday. I better get in the habit since I may be going back to work real soon...sooner rather than never! LOL Mary Ellen, I don't blame you for being partial to the photos. I would be proud as well. Dianne, I can't tell you the number of times I would "remmeber" something, anything...especially that stuff I package up and put in containers in the freezer! LMAO....sometimes it's a defrost everything to determoine what it is. Or defrost what you think were mashed p potatoes and find out it was buttercream icing! My promise to myself this year was to label everything, but I don't always. oh well. One time I had a box take the longest time. When it came down to it, it was never mailed as a priority box, so it took a longer time to get here, perhaps Vina that is what is happeneing? I'm still experiencing great problems with GW. I type to a blank page and then minutes later, the words appear. As of now, I see the paragraph where I mention MaryEllen. It will be minutes before anything else appears and then I have to go back and fix typos. So strange, not sure why this is happening. Spring, plesae come soon, I can no longer take this cold. Have a great Monday! Maryanne

Thanks everyone.. We took our Winnie in today to be tested and she was positive also.(wasn't surprised) I wasn't able to go with DH today but he thoroughly questioned the vet and his wanting to start Tank on the ProHeart6 shot. He wants use to use the shot as a treatment/preventative measure. DH shared with him all of my fears.. Dr M said he had no second thoughts with starting Tank on it. That he uses it on his own dogs and wouldn't recommend anything for Tank that he wouldn't do to his own. He said he has never seen any side effects on any of the dogs that use it. He does make the dog stay for 4 hours as a follow up. He told DH that many years ago it was introduced into the market, dogs had problems, they pulled the med and have reintroduced it in the past couple of years. With Winnie he says she is a little more + than Tank so we are giving her the us Doxycycline and then will start her on a different heart worm preventive(Tri Heart Plus) for 6 months and reevaluate where we are then. I trust Dr M..he is not out to make money, he truly cares about the pet and the owners feelings. He was so good to us and to Bear when we had to put him to sleep in 09..

Sorry, but I do **NOT** agree with this comment (posted above): "Incredibly sad, especially that the 2 people responsible are really just children themselves. At 17, I knew right from wrong but I didn't fully understand life and consequences." Children don't have to "fully understand life" to know that it's wrong to commit murder. An eight year old child can understand that it's wrong to inflict pain on other people. The two "youths" that committed this heinous crime can't hide behind any excuses, IMHO. I hope they're swiftly dealt with, and subjected to the harshest penalties our justice system can inflict. My heart aches for that mother.
