They were playing "Dancing Queen" by Abba. The surgeon and what seemed like dozens of theatre staff (probably only three) all had straight faces but avoided eye contact.<br /><br />When I went to have the other foot done one year later, the same thing happened. I'm not sure whether it improves one's confidence in the surgeon or not to know he has a sense of humour.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-53561105318909897422012-11-21T21:01:03.918+00:002012-11-21T21:01:03.918+00:00Best wishes to your sister.

(Major concern: keeping their drinking water from freezing.) A friend and neighbor with an empty barn has offered the goats winter quarters, but he has two poodles--a standard and a robust toy. I doubt that there will be problems, but neither of us is completely sure about that. I'll keep you posted.

I wouldn't recommend even letting them in the field at that point, they become VERY aggressive to perceived threats when there are lambs involved.

Just last week my daughter encountered a 'dog-lover' who believed in letting her animal run free. Being a very insecure dog meeting Daisy, my grandpuppy, who doesn't even think she's a dog (but was on a leash) a confrontation ensued and Jessica ended up with a bite right through her thumbnail bed as she wrestled the two dogs apart.
