Richard Munson The key word is judgement. Felix did not show much. One little lapse from only one dog and it would become gang warfare.

Richard Munson Marie is right. It was a 2 1/2 hour marathon. The room looked like a blizzard. I had to keep my newly cataract free eye closed during the ordeal. Exhausting. We both aid with treats throughout the process so its a happy experience. He loves his groomer. The other option is drop him off and return in a few hours. We prefer our method.

Rose Madura He loves getting his picture taken!

Suzette Schear He's a poser. very successful at it too.

Ana Brusso Oh Shadow, if you only knew how much you are loved. Thank you Richard ❤️😍😘

Suzette Schear My boyfriend has a car with all the gadgets couldn’t figure how to close the trunk it was stuck in a mode had to go to dealer and it was a turn of a button. Hence 1 year later I’m at target and a couple was having trouble closing their trunk I told them about the special button that needs a turn and I was a rocket ship scientist that day. So true

Richard Munson Deena, i am not one to just accept what i am handed. One of my issues for a couple of years has been balance. Not severe but yet not great. I had a zillion tests, not as many as suzette, but a lot. Also took a pt balance session or 2. The pt that tested me said off the cuff that i will notice a change when and if my eyes get coordinated. How right he was. The biggest fault i received was its my age. Over 80, poor balance. I can say that since my surgery last week, my balance has improved dramatically. As he rightly said, your eyes send messages to your brain which in turn controls many facets of your body. At this exact moment i am looking at nancy’s birthday card across the room and ready it, plus i am typing this and not wearing reading glasses. Hooray.

Pamela Gregory Yay! You can see!!!

Richard Munson Never got sick from a dirty bubbler or god help us carefully washing the top of a bottle by twisting our hand around it after a bunch of us used it. I can still recall my mother ( god rest her soul) calling me to come home for supper during a spirited basketball game and finally walking a few blocks to see where i was. She waited patiently till the game was over. It wasn’t all about her, it was about me. Thanks mom.

Minimally invasive vs. the zipper seems to be a question that comes up frequently. I had minimally invasive, so far so good. Important to note that either way you pick, its only an entrance to your heart. The actual surgery itself is pretty much the same, or so i believe. I also believe either method is a toss up as far as whats better. Both have advantages and disadvantages like most decisions in life. In reading various posts on this site , it seems to me that if you had either method and it was successful you are all for it. If it was not then the other one must be better. I think more important is the surgeon and the hospital and their success rates no matter what method they use to enter your body. Neither is a picnic and nothing is 100%.

Richard Munson The experts will tell you that a dogs coat provides warmth in the winter and cooling in the summer which is why siberian huskies are not shaved in summer. Who knows for sure. Black certainly absorbs more that white. We take doggie precautions. He has a cooling collar in the freezer we take out and attach after a warm walk. He was just on the couch and as soon as the air went on he ran to the vent and plopped. Pretty smart.

The fellow in the next car i sat with and met for the first time has had 5 heart attacks and has more stents than i could count. Also 82. A small coincidence: kathy graduated bridgewater college as did my daughter michelle and her husband had a coach in high school that i recall at a basketball camp way back over 50 years ago. It is truly a small world.
