Hi Carlene! 
     We have had quite a bit going on. Harry is grumpy today because of the rain. He wants to go out but then feels the rain and bolts back in the house. Silly boy! We were privileged to be able to stand out an welcome home the Marine who was killed in Afghanistan right before christmas. He was a friend of my brother so   Harry and I showed our respect and thanks. What a moving thing and reflects on the work that you do helping vets! Everyone who makes it home needs the support of a community like sdp!  Due to struggles with the va harry is working double time. He is my constant physical buddy but his b billet is helping mentally because of the anxiety caused by that place that is supposed to help us.  Sigh. Rant over. 
Anyway... Harry loves the snow and has been a total trooper about being made to go out in the cold. We were at a restaurant with friends and some people came over to see him. My friend jumped in and said he is working it is best not to pet him but they were going all hands in his face ( we were in a corner table) I said leave it an he put his head down and ignored them as my friend sternly said not to pet him. He is very good at ignoring people but I feel bad that he gets a command to leave it when he has done nothing wrong. He really puts up with so much as I imagine all the dogs do and yet they still love us. Sorry this was a mess of thoughts and comments but we wanted to fill you in on what is going on in our little world!
