How is Jade, Mike? Hope the boys are going gentle on her, but, I expect stitches or not, she'd ring their bells if they got too nosey. I'm sending cyber hugs to her: she was a great mom...I loved the whole puppy saga.. AND Odi's love and joy in his puppies was truly heartwarming. I'm so glad that you were able to keep Crusher, too. I know Odi appreciates it, and I'm sure Jade is comforted to have at least one of her pups with her. Hugs to your whole pack!
