Happy Friday

I went out to my dad's house yesterday. He just got home from having knee replacement surgery. He said the VA doctors were great but the nurses were surly and inattentive. I'm sure spending ten days under their care was enough.

He has to have the other knee done in three months then he will be able to walk again.

They tried everything to avoid replacement but the VA finally broke down and approved the operation.

He's out there by himself, which is bad because he can't move much, but also good because his wife is a crazy blithering nut bag that makes his life a living hell. The more she stays gone the less Prozac dad has to take.

I'll probably be out there quite a bit in the next few weeks to help out while he recovers.

I took some pictures while I was out there. He's got the makings of a zoo roaming the property.



This is Jack, He's an attention hog and loves the camera. He got in my face and demanded I pet him and take his picture.

This is Charlie. His favorite past time is rolling in mud and looking pitiful

Pancho is a teacup Chihuhua. He thinks he's a great dane and has an attitude to match.

This fella wandered up to check me out. I have no idea what his name is or where he came from.

The Doberman's name is Roxy, she is about the coolest dog I've ever met. She smiles on command, has her own bed, TV and bedroom and earns her keep by keeping all the other animals in line. The german shepard belongs to the people next door.
