George,
Glad you got through with so little pain. As for poor Sleepy, would the kid
consider taking her home with him for the day. Our dog, Max, tore apart our
house every time we left for more than one night, now a neighbor takes him
home for the day and brings him back at bedtime. They just leave Max in the
backyard and he sees all the kids as they run in and out of their house. He
loves it, and is almost sorry when we come home. Course, I have three kids
so the activity is normal to him.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one
who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The
other is mere business. -Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
