Just a quick update on Timmy's surgery (no photo, sorry!) -- his leg was amputated yesterday afternoon and he came through the surgery in good shape. He will be staying at the clinic for the next few days. Once he fully recovers and comes back home, I know he will be a much happier boy without that leg bothering him.
Also: Thanks to everyone for all the great comments on Widget. Funny thing about that photo: Everyone else saw Widget winking ... except me! And then, after I read the first couple of comments about her "winking" at us, I went back and looked at that photo again, and sure enough, I could "see" the wink! Maybe this is a case of being just a little too close to the subject matter!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and please keep those votes coming in the Shelter Challenge!

All right!
Can't wait for him to come home and be completely comfortable in his body.

Thanks for the update about Timmy. What a relief it must
be for him. For you 2 also.
He is one lucky pup to have
you 2 as his guardian angels.
You are incredible.

Yay for Timmy. Thanks for taking him in.
Upon reflection, Widget DOES look like she's winking!
