Unexpected
Would have been nice to have a holiday without drama. Poor gingy is paralyzed.

Dropped off 3 healthy puppies for 24 hour boarding yesterday and when I went to pick them up today, it was casually mentioned that Gingy’s (one of our mini dachshunds) back legs are paralyzed. What?!

Just wondering...
Is it just me, and perhaps my morbid obsession, or has anyone else noticed that this year there appears to be less media regurgitation about JFK’s assasination?
