Since we last visited I have been in Iowa,California and Maryland. Next week we are off to work in Florida, the following week Wisconsin and then back to Maryland. So you can see this is a busy spring and is shaping up to be a great year for the firm.
However, it is also taxing and does require that our trustworthy and dear dog-sitter Kandace spend an inordinate amount of time with the boys.
Little Bit recently had some surgery to remove a couple of benign tumors from his feet. He was a trooper and is doing just fine. He is my recliner dog. Each evening he and I settle into the recliner after a long day of work to have a cocktail and watch the news or some other trash on television. He likes to snuggle.
Max is doing just fine. He is now about 75-pounds and is still as loving as ever to his best buddy Stimpy. Max gives him lots of love, attention and kisses. Max has always been a sweet dog but these days even more so.
Stimpy, I am pleased to say, is holding his own although he does seem to get thinner every day. He is eating well and pooping well as long as he gets his stool softeners. Today, he is sharing space with our housekeeper's two children - 3 and 5 years old and I am proud to say he is doing very well with them. Max and Little Bit also have been entertained by them.
Here is Stimpy with his frog just one of several of his toys. You will recall that Stimpy is very gentle with his toys and always tries to ensure they stay pristeen in appearance. Max and Little Bit on the other hand have been known to chew on them. Here he is protecting Mr. Frog.
I continue to appreciate all of you that have been checking on me and the Old Man. It means a lot to the both of us. This has been a difficult spring for me with Stimpy's situation and frankly I have been fighting off a terrible depression. A couple of my clients have become challenging and caused me to question whether I should continue with them, or not, and grief is finally catching up with me as it always does eventually. So, keep us both in your thoughts and prayers. We will appreciate it.
Until next time.
