Thank you for the prayers! The vet says we have to wait and see how the liquid meds do - if they don't work, she goes back to shots. The tumor won't go away, but the meds should keep her pain-free and prevent (at least for a bit) any spreading. I'm so glad you got the tick out before it bit Harlowe - scary! I haven't heard anything about ticks for this season for this area. I've only ever seen one and that was years ago - I used tweezers to pull it out of the cat it was in - she was fine afterwards. Thank you for the good luck wish on the planting - I will need it as there are a lot of rabbits around here this year. Love them, but hate it when they eat my seedlings. I really don't watch much television. I only get the free previews on Dishnet - right now it is Hallmark and a few other channels I have no interest in. The other day I did turn the tv on to see if there was any new channels in the clear and it was on Hallmark - one of the Christmas episodes of Little House on the Prairie was playing. It was the one where Laura gives up Bunny to buy Caroline the stove - always makes me cry. cheesy I just finished up with the first three books in the knitting mysteries by Maggie Sefton (good, but quick reads) and three Myron Bolitar mysteries by Harlan Coben (quite good, but again, quick reads). I've lightened my reading up with Sammy's Hill - supposedly an American Bridget Jones, but so far, not nearly as funny. What are you reading?
