      From PAmedic July 2

      Hey Vic! Was thinking about you and thought I would send you a hug and ask how you are doing? All is OK here ... the new pups had their ears done yesterday and so that is keeping us busy trying to keep them from chewing their bandages. lol I would never do it again tho. Yuck ... poor little guys! J's Dad passed away week befoe last and they were living in the midwest, so that was not a good week all around, but things are beginning to get back to normal somewhat. Drop me a line and let me know how you and your furkids are! xoxox
