Flip,
Thanks for the encouragement. It sure seems lonely around here this morning and I am completely lost as I can't get my mind to work at all. And no, I don't use any type of spray or bug poison, but they chew on everything they find and I have tried to pick up acorns and stuff but it is impossible for me to find everything in the yards as more blow in daily. And I don't feed them chocolate as I know it is bad for any dog. I am hoping that Monday the lab won't be so back logged they can't get to Sweethearts tests and get the results back to Ken. Every time anything bad happens to one of them or the others I had, it is always a darn weekend or holiday week when everything is closed. I can't believe how attached I get to my pets and they are the only good thing that has happened to me in the past two years after losing both Sherry and Teddy so close together. I have had to take nerve pills far more often than I like and only faith is holding me together at this time.
Ron
