Great story and excellent shots as usual Jim. You really should sideline as a writer......
By the way, Rocky goes in the morning to get his staples out. He must have 20+ up his little tummy. Recovering super. He acts great and has an appetite only second to mine (6'3" 205# of me :-))If you couldn't see his shaved body and the staples from one end of the little guy to the other, you would never know he had surgery a week ago!
