<DIV>The day started out by having to drop Ben off at the vet for the dental and
bump removal. Well, the way he looked at me as I left the vet just about drove a
knife through my heart. I felt like a heal. Then on the way to work, I got
rear-ended. Fortunately there were no injuries, except that my back hurts a tad.
I will have it looked at tomorrow if the pain continues. The rear of my car is
pushed in, and some heat shield is damaged, so I was informed not to drive it. I
had to get a loaner, and am just resting the back now. The good thing is that
the accident was witnessed by a policeman, which made things a bit easier. The
other driver is being ticketed and his insurance is taking blame. I just hope
that the back is OK, as I do not want to go through any hassles.</DIV>

<DIV>Ben came home this afternoon. Vet said all went well. The cyst
was removed as was some kind of a tartar induced bump in his mouth.
You should have seen him when he saw me. He ran to me, jumped up on me,
and then high tailed it to the door, non-stop. He just kept pulling till
we were outside. Got him home and he started in with the whining. He
was really making me feel guilty. I got him to eat some chicken breast
with burger and rice,and a little cheese on it. He peed and pooped.
Did not want to walk much, but that is to be understood. Gave him his pain
pill and anti-biotic, and he settled down a bit. Started to whine again,
so we took him for a ride and when we came home, he settled down. I want
to thank all for the drool. </DIV>
