Hi Shelly,
I am so happy to see you. I am glad you are back and hope all is well.
I have been in and out with multi-dramas, just dropped in to look
around.

Judy, I tried to reply to your email, but it bounced (mailbox full). Please
advise when you can accept emails again. Thanks.

Paul and Muttley

Things are good! My main concern these days is not letting myself get
distracted from watching Harriet. All it takes is a two second
attention lapse, and she's nibbling at her stitches. I think the
incision must be at the itchy stage of healing. The stitches should
come out on Tuesday. Hopefully, neither of us will completely lose our
minds before then.

I hope none of those multi-dramas are serious! Sometimes an rpd break
is good, though.

My eldest granddaughter babysat for the puppy's owners baby for the
puppy class. It was her very first professional sitting job. The
neighbours exchange pleasantries virtually everyday with my daughter
and her family. They have been over for a drink on more than one
occasion. It's a normal, friendly neighbourhood.

That makes it more difficult, for sure, but it also means that there's
hope of helping the owners get a clue. It takes time, though. Maybe
training classes will be that first step toward clueville?

If my daughter called Sylvia (the S.P.C.A. lady) it would almost
certainly get back to the neighbours who made the call. That could
seriously affect my daughter's life in the neighbourhood, not just
with the puppy's owners.

I wondered. Having lived in several communities that don't have AC, I
don't automatically assume that everyone has recourse to it. Or that,
if there is such a thing, it would actually help their particular
problem. I also know how small community interactions can affect how
you handle something like this. It's not at all unreasonable for your
daughter to be concerned about how various solutions might play out. I
don't have any suggestions, but y'all have my sympathy.
