@Stradee,
Glad to hear the good news, Stradee.......
Here's a short (big) puppy tale to help cheer you up =
Man came out of store to see a large, long, black hearse go by heading towards a nearby cemetary. To his surprise, about 50 feet back of that was another large, long, black hearse --- followed about 50 feet back of that by a man walking his big puppy on a leash. The man and the puppy were being followed by about 200 or so men all treading along in line about 50 feet behind. The man's curiousity got the best of him and he went to the man and his dog asking who was in the first hearse. The man walking his dog said it was his wife and went on to explain that his dog had attacked and killed her. The curious man then asked who was in the second hearse. The man with the dog said it was his Mother in Law who had tried to help her daughter when the dog suddenly turned and attacked and killed her........... The man was silent and thoughtful for awhile and then said, "May I borrow your dog."
The man with the dog said, "Sure, get in line."
