Barks my friends! I’ve been on patrol here at the Hotel Thompson trying to take care of mom. I haven’t left her side very much. She can’t pick me up but I sneak up to her side every once in a while and give her sloppy puppy kisses. I know she is hurting. Dogs have this sense, you know. She doesn’t move much these days and when she does, she groans. I’m hoping she starts to feel better soon. Daddy said she had something called surgery. All I know is that she came home Wednesday smelling all funny – clinical funny. Hemi tried to explain it to me but I wasn’t listening. I was too busy trying to sniff mom out and make sure she’s okay. She’s been traveling slowly back and forth from the bedroom to the living room. We will all keep you posted my friends. Thanks so much for all of the prayers, emails and calls. We’ve really appreciated them ❤ Now I leave you with Jokes with Dad. I think we all need to laugh right about now 🙂
