SRS, now I need a box of tissues! What a wondrous rescue that was! Thanks for the link.

Also for the O2 one. That would work for me at 3 liters per minute, but, until I lose more weight and see the doc in Oct. he's told me he thinks it best if I keep it at 4 with activity. BUT, that will change with the exercise etc., so I will keep that in mind as it would sure free us up more for travelling. It'd be a bit too heavy for just running around town. The one I use now is only 4lbs. They will have to order the larger one, but it shouldn't weigh much more..it's only about 4" taller, same circumference. I'll see one next week and decide.

We've done nothing today except errands this morning. I had plans, but Rog pooped out after lunch and I spent most of the afternoon answering some important emails and such. I had contacted a fellow about finding a McNab border collie. Turned out we couldn't afford one of his and they're all working stock dogs, BUT he was so impressed with the essay I wrote about Merlee, he told me he'd keep his eye out for one that needs a good home (I told him rejects as work dogs were fine, sometimes they just don't take to the work)AND he'd bring it to our doorstep, himself! He also asked if he could put it on his website, which should be happening as I type, so that was pretty neat. Turns out his website person has a dau. in WY, has lived there herself, and loves the state, so they are including a link and info on my book which includes the essay. BTW, it was written on Mudcat first: Thought for the Day- 5 Feb. 2000
