A fun Weekend

Boy, did this sneek up on us...

Post Op

I want to cry...

Birmingham, Alabama

A lovely city from what we've seen. Didn't come here to site-see though. Had to bring Valentyne up here for surgery. One of the bones (either radius or ulna) in her front right paw stopped growing and was causing her to limp and the paw to stick outwards. Doc came very highly recommended. He is going to break the bone that has stopped growing and then put a screw in which will (hopefully) cause new bone growth (it works in humans). Apparently this is quite common in short legged dogs of all breeds. We just don't want her to be in pain...
More later with pics I'm (almost) sure.

March

Lots of rain the last few days. Tornado's all around. Lots of fun here in the panhandle.

Helen

Funny thing happened on the way home from Asheville. We had heard about this little town in Georgia called Helen. So, we made the time to visit. We're definitely going back...

Biltmore

Had a long weekend, so we took a little road trip to Asheville, North Carolina. What an experience. Downtown was a bit weird for me though (too many hippies..). Many galleries and small restaurants and bars. Very crowded, but quite cool. The highlight of this portion of our trip was visiting the Biltmore House.

This is the view as you come in through the gate.
