So sorry to hear about Tank.  He is free of pain, romping around with your other dogs.  I know you gave him so much love and he loved having you as his "momma".

Oh, this breaks my heart to hear this.  Praying for you both and hoping he has a good while yet to be pampered and spoiled.

Ouch, Sunshine, that looks painful.  I did the same thing when I went to the funeral home to pre-plan my folks' funeral, hurried out to my car to get cell phone and didn't see where the sidewalk jutted up and was in flip-flops and there was no stopping.  I felt so embarrassed and there was a nice man looking out the window and ran out to help me.  Had to have X-rays later in the week because it was really hurting but nothing broken.  I did end up getting cellulitis pretty bad in the calf area so be sure and keep it elevated and look for any redness.

Wendy, that little boy has probably benefited a lot from having you around.  He sounds pretty smart and was taking it all in but wasn't ready to verbalize yet, esp telling is that he knew the 9 on the deck of cards.  Good luck with your season and be careful.

Sorry to hear about you and Tank, oscar.  Hoping the new antibiotic clears everything up.  You may want to go to your doc and explain your symptoms.  It may be what Wendy mentioned or a blockage somewhere that they could find by running a few tests.  But like you said, all the stress you have been under could be the culprit.  I know, all too well, how much stress can mess up your body; mine always related to not sleeping well, grinding my teeth and headaches.  When it was really bad, I usually came down with something worse, bronchitis, etc.

Sunshine, I'm with you ~ those tiny homes would drive me up the wall.  I watched it when one lady was a traveling nurse, I believe, and would change locations every few months.  She needed one that she could move herself and in that situation, it might work.
