1) 2 vets couldn't take him but I am thankful I could get Cooper into an emergency vet clinic this morning. He has a bad cold and got an antibiotic shot. He sneezed 40 times in a row this morning! 40!

2) the weekend is just 1/2 day away

3) allergy testing appointment next week. Thank God! Please let them find something specific and fixable

4) all of you - although I don't have much to say these days, I read your posts and love you each dearly

5) even though it is going to rain tomorrow for the 9th weekend in the row, we've decided to keep the party scheduled
