has anyone ever heard of a dog trimming a human's finger nails?
well. kitty is the best.
eric was cutting his finger nails the other night and kitty seemed very interested in the process. so eric, half way done, let her check it out. and she started, very gently, to pull on a piece of his finger nail with her teeth...until a sliver of his nail came off. then she waited for him to start to cut another nail and then, again very gently, started to pull on the piece of nail with her little front teeth until the sliver of his nail came off. all proud of herself for grooming her owner.
i know many people would keep this piece of information private...but...i just think kitty is the cutest and smartest dog i've ever seen in my life.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Kitty sounds like quite a gem and the story is very cute. So!! How about those Red Sox?? I think it's neat that it worked out for them to pay a visit to you in Denver...a piece of home from all of us. (oh yes, we ARE responsible for their being in the World Series with the Rockies...we had to do SOMEthing that can rival family dinner, facials, and advent calendars...eeegaaads!
Much love,
Susan

Visiting Michigan over the weekend, I came across two new resources that may be of interest:
1) Encouraging U-M research on pregnancy after breast cancer

2) A Detroit News blog by a 26-year-old page designer recently diagnosed with breast cancer (between stage II and III)

Thinking of you lots,
love,
Nicole
p.s. Hooray for the Sox!!!
Dear Meghan,
