Weather: Still not looking too bad for mid-December.  But, truth be told, I’m ready for spring.

Aches and pains: After throwing my back out a week ago Thursday, it was this Wednesday before I started feeling any relief.  It was a little better on Thursday too, but I think I did a little too much and it didn’t seem any better on Friday.  Hopefully it will get a little better each day.

Dog News:  Gus has not had a good week.  He’s lost about 10 pounds in the last few months and has been picky at eating.  He hasn’t eaten much in the last two days and had had diarrhea on Friday.  He has moments where he seems like his old self, but he’s 14 and mostly deaf these days.  Buster is really sweet when someone is here with him, but when we leave for a while he gets into stuff and chews up stuff.  The picture at right is stuff he got off the dresser (besides a couple of toys) and drug to the bed and tore up. We’re working on trying to figure out a better way to handle this without putting him in a crate while we’re away.

That’s it from B&P Headquarters in St. Louis. What’s going on in your world?
