Did that last week, O. Thanks, though, for the reminder. That is wonderful that Diane raised $600 for research. It is good of her to take time to assemble a collage of our photos. | |

Took his picture and sent it. Teddy was NOT happy. He wanted to play ball and I made him stop to put on the bandana and sit still for a picture. He looks pathetic. | |

$600 - GOOD FOR HER!!! :-))))) Well...good for us all!!! :-)) Thanks Diane - I'm sending my pic now! :-) Jackie is in a Valentines Fashion Show in a nursing home on Sat and they asked us to write a bio on the dogs. I got some language in about her EPI and how we are trying to bring awareness to it to fund more research. I never miss a chance to get this in so future and existing dogs can get the best chance possible. | |
