sunday evening, march 2

the old dog has come home. :)

he's so relieved to be out of that hospital...but he's taking it really slowly. he's quietly taking it all in. it's been the perfect weather day for him to sit out back and watch the wind blow the pine trees.

he's really enjoyed reading through everyone's cards and emails. he said he'll be in touch with everyone as soon as he's up and running which might take a couple more months...but i know you'll all be ready and willing once the day arrives!

more later...
