Other news this week....Bill has now had his second cataract operation done so all that remains to be done there is to get some new reading glasses in about a month but on a sad note we discovered a lump inside Bailey 's upper jowl & also another in his neck....our vet suspects lymphoma so we are off to see a dog oncologist on Thursday!

  2. Love the inchies for France. Glad Bill is on the mend and sorry about Bailey, I will say a prayer. I would also love to say that your journal pages are always so empowering. Take care.
