<DIV>One year ago ALREADY, my sweet Polly Esther went to the Bridge. Polly
Esther was adopted through Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue ...Although I never got
to meet her prior to her adoption it was love at first sight. We went to a
Tri-State event at Annie's Ices in Doylestown, PA . I couldn't wait
to find her and when I saw the Tri-State table I literally ran to it...there was
Suzanne and Sandy working and I asked if that was Polly and they told me it was
and I started to cry...!!! I ran over to her and just hugged
her. Poor thing was so scared. I took her for a walk and when I
would walk away from the crowd she kept turning back to return. So we
returned and instantly she had me trained. On the way home we
discovered she didn't like the car...she just sat never moving a muscle
until we went to Burger King and then I became her best friend. Polly
entered our home as if she lived there here entire life. She ruled Alfredo
Fettuccini and Owen Max Bloomberg with an iron paw. Unfortunately we only
had her for 22 months but during that time she brought so much joy to our
home. She had many undiagnosed health issues which will always be a
mystery. Along with those issues she also had a seizure disorder.
Through Polly Esther I met so many wonderful people, and because of Polly Esther
, Abraham Galinkin is now in our lives. We miss you,love you and
thank you Polly Esther...!</DIV>

<DIV>Now onto the vacuuming issue...I sweep my hardwood floors EVERY day...I am
fanatically about it, maybe more obsessed . I have an Animal Dyson
which just today I replaced the hose as it was ripped a the top of the
wand. I vacuum only once a week but after sweeping every day you should
see what I pick up with the vacuum. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On a better note, Owen is feeling much better, he ate robustly today which
he hadn't the last few days, although the lump is basically the same size
without draining. I am apply hot compresses and hope the antibiotics do
the job they were prescribed to do. Thank you all whom contacted me off
list with your good wishes and those who posted. He is my selfless humble
boy!</DIV>
