'Excitement' here, southern MD, heard Thurs afternoon,

instead of visit from nearby family, they rushed to vet, went to different vet for some sort of emergency.

I JUST learned their/our lab 'pup' had 1.5 feet of intestine removed! My daughter's been caring for him, son in law just returned from work, and everyone's getting some rest.

I hope to see SOME of them SOME time; they planned to spend Tgvg in 'country,' maybe Deep Creek Lake, so I may be home alone. rain forecast for Thurs/Fri.

JUST saw pic, pup with cone of shame walking along riverfront, 'he's home, he's hungry, he's happy!!!' GOOD news!
