@ehBeth,
deb, I'm not experiencing any pain. But I didn't sleep well. On reflection, I think that being pumped full of steroids (my pulmonologist arranged that) is making me more than usually energized. The dogs will not be visiting me this week. I'm concerned about being bumped by a big dog. Next week they'll be back.
George, How the hell should I know if "protocol" is written on my ass. I suppose I could check it out with mirrors, but I ain't all that interested.
bethie, Thanks for all the rottie pics. I often think of a rottie as a dog and a half. I'd love a visit from a pair of rottweilers. When are they coming. Maybe we could arrange a foursome. The rotties and the pit bulls. Batten down the hatches!
