After three rainy days, it was good to have a beautiful spring day yesterday. While we had mostly showers up here, Diane, down in Delaware, had some heavier rain. She sent me these before and after photos of Maisie - nothing like a wet and muddy puppy!





Mandisa went in for her OFA xrays yesterday, and we had good news and bad news. The good news is that her hips look great. The bad news is that last fall, when Nemo body slammed her and left her lame for weeks, her cruciate ligament was ruptured
. So in two weeks she is having surgery to get it repaired. At least this time of year there will be no ice or snow and we can go for little walks daily for physical therapy to build the muscle back up. And no more running with Nemo! He's just too wild, the big dope.

Yesterday was Marc's birthday! Woo hoo!!
