It's really nice to have one of them tell you "I love you"  even when you know it's becase you walked into the room with a bag of nuts in your hand.  ;-)

G what a cute dog hope she/he (missed that) getts better soon.  Please really watch her when she gets well as my doxie was doing really well after his first disc slip then jumped off the couch and well that was the last of him.  Promised myself no more doxies but there is one in my lap as I type this.
