Back in Action!

Okay folks! After a very bumpy last two weeks, we're back in action! William spent six very rough nights in the doggie-ER, pumping what seemed to be an endless stream of air out of his chest cavity, but once he sensed that we'd drained the very last of our savings account, he said "Enough's enough!", healed up right quick, and was sent home to us the next day. : )

We can't tell you how happy we are to have him home, even if he is a half-shaved, very-puffy, very-grouchy version of his former self. It really gave me perspective on the things we takes for granted in our everyday lives. We can't imagine a day without his smiling face, and now we don't have to!

Next week, he goes back in to have his surgical staples removed, and then this saga is finally behind us. Thank goodness, as we've got way bigger fish to fry at this point...

Also, a quick but very sincere thanks to all our family and friends who wrote and called while we were in the throes of all of this. It was wonderful having your support and warm thoughts...
