it's a pretty special group we have here. a friend sent this to me a couple of weeks ago. as we see each other through our ups & downs (or try too), it seemed to fit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHfcJmcWTG0

Hey Stevie Ray... when our dog had a broken pelvis and had to be "quiet" for 4 weeks (a husky, not easy to do) we got a baby's playpen to put her in. That let her be with us and see what was going on, but she pretty much had to stay put. I think we used it for our dachsy when she hurt her back, too. I suggest you get one for him so he can be in the room with you but not jumping off the couch! I got my run in on the treadmill downstairs today. Too damn cold to go out... -30 here at the house, -40 in town. The news says the inversion will weaken in the next several days meaning our temps up here will get colder. Rats. On the other hand, I can't believe we head to Florida on Monday night! Won't get in till Tuesday evening so that'll be a "rest" day on the calendar for sure. 7.11 miles today, bringing me to 2002.3 for the year. Thinking back to the end of October I didn't think there'd be any way I'd hit over 2000 for the year, but I did it. Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it and all the body parts cooperate.
