Well all set for Thur 6/30/11 supposedly 10 hour surgery this time 2 hours shorter than the first one. He is getting his stuff in order "just in case" he says. And to top it off his favorite dog, Biagio who is our 16 yr old mini pin took a turn for the worse and is standing at the edge of the "Rainbow Bridge" waiting to cross over whenever Ron lets go of him...it may be today or Saturday morning and it is really killing Ron that his "lil buddy" is going to be gone and is very upset that it is happening before he goes in for his surgery, I think he maybe is thinking the lil guy is leading the way for him or something...so yes I've had a bunch of stress going on the past week and restless/sleepless nights between Ron and the dog...wish us luck.
