Oh what a beautiful morning (inspite of the dark clouds)

I feel better today than I have for some time.  Life is good again and I feel hopeful about Ron.  I know that lung surgery will be no picnic but it's a chance to beat this thing and that's way more than was offered to us two years ago.

Our little house guest is doing well.  I think she is really enjoying being an only dog.  She was playing chase with Ron this morning and I don't think I remember ever seeing Bella play.  She's too busy being surly at her house.  Having her around has made we wish we had a dog.  I really think Ron really enjoys having one around.  Animals are drawn to him like a magnet.   I would want one small enough to travel with us but big enough not worry about her getting under foot.  

I saw a cute breed "Havanese" but they evidently don't do well alone.  We don't need two dogs so I think that breed is out.
But that's for consideration another day.
