Avon for Valentines!

Colonoscopy on 1-26-2012

What can I say? All the yucky stories for the "prep" I have heard...ARE TRUE!!!! AND worse!!! insert evil smile/laugh. The actual procedure, I can't comment on that due to I was sleeping!! The day after is not so good, feels like I was punched just below my belly button to the left a little. Like a bruised pain..tender to the touch...well not tender but more like OUCH!!!

Not only letting go of one of the sweetest big goofy dogs I bred, this ends my Berner ways. Her parents: dam Selene; her sire Corbin.
