The older he gets (almost nine now), the sweeter he becomes. Have you visited here enough to know Butch is blind?

(His kisses are a little slimy.)<BR/><BR/>Sunflower, yes, I fell for him literally. I still remember trying to get to my feet after that really hard fall. Kadi was right there sniffing and checking me out. I looked for Butch and he was at the far corner of the yard, scrunched down in the grass and watching us from a safe distance. I was in so much pain I was crying, but he made me laugh.<BR/><BR/>Janet, he's definitely worth it. In the beginning, though, when I added up the cost of vet bills, my Butch-related medical bills, and four dining room chairs, I had a few doubts. And that was before the long bout of expensive eye drops and surgery. Oh, and surgery on two CCL ligaments before that. He's the most expensive free dog I've ever owned.<BR/><BR/>Cindi, he's a sweetie all right.<BR/><BR/>Third-Cat, Mr. J is doing very well--exceeding expectations in fact. I'm doing fine, too. He isn't there generating work, so my workload isn't actually heavier. It's just different from the norm. I have to remind myself that I'm not an attorney and can't dispense legal advice (even if I know the answer), so I'm grateful to have a few folks I can count on when only a lawyer will do. So far, so good. Thanks for asking.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-86108351178621149722007-02-13T09:02:00.000-06:002007-02-13T09:02:00.000-06:00Velvet, I can almost hear you closing doors with a...Velvet, I can almost hear you closing doors with a little too much enthusiasm.

He was worth it in the end, though, wasn't he? <BR/><BR/>I came very close to giving up Spot twice, because he was such a handful and I didn't know if he had brain damage or something, but he finally mellowed out around 18 months. I'm glad I kept him...most of the time. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-76397933010169450412007-02-12T21:54:00.000-06:002007-02-12T21:54:00.000-06:00Awwww - your love for that little pup shines throu...Awwww - your love for that little pup shines through even in the "short version."
