My Texas grandchildren love animals--lots of animals. Chickens, a horse or two, four dogs, a couple of rabbits, who knows who all resides in their yard from day to day?
Last week, Will called and told me Skippy--due to a reaction to heart worm medicine--was in the hospital, blind and suffering neurological problems. Nathan loves that little rat terrier especially because Skippy came all the way from the North Pole a few years back. He's been "praying with all his heart" all week for Skippy, but he's not home this morning to hear the good news.
Well, I just got a call that Skippy is fine, and he can see after all! They were prepared to watch him learn his way around blindly, but that won't be necessary.
I was looking (unsuccessfully) for picture of Skippy to post this morning and found hundreds of snapshots of Elena and Nathan with animals. In NISE, the movie I watched last night, one thing that was particularly moving was that the patients formed their first relationships in the hospital with stray dogs. So I wanted to go back and look at some animal history....
