Hi everyone. I'm really sorry to not see this article till now, very late. I hope many submitted letters to the editor on its heels to correct misinformation...
Your kindness and caring has completely turned a life around. Dee Dee can now find joy and discovery and she can bask in your love and feel safe in the world. You have made the world a better place - thank you! . And thank you for the update - I loved reading it! JJ
Yes, at least one more...
Thank you for rescuing her - so kind of you and your husband.
You should keep her separated for a little while to make sure she's not sick (and thus possibly contaminating your others). This will give her a chance to adjust to so much newness and to build her strength. It may be best if they can...

Hi Jill!! So sorry LouLou is hurting. Glad the circulation seems good. If you can, and maybe you already have done this since posting, try gently feeling the leg in the areas you suspect are a problem and compare with the other leg. Hopefully there is no dislocation. Hopefully she just...
Hey Jerseyans - If any of you attend the street fair tomorrow in Pennington, NJ (Mercer County) stop by and say hi at the booth with stained glass panels I'll be the one with arm in a cast!
