You guys are so funny. I have the most boring life going. My biggest thrill was watching my water pipe get split open.

Poor Nick has gotten into something. All his fur on his chin fell out when the vet rubbed it with a kleenex. It was raw underneath. His fur is gone off his legs too in spots. Also between his toes, he had black stuff and they were all inflamed. We had to run water between his toes on each foot. That was fun! He has lost 2 pounds since he was there 2 weeks ago. His eyes are infected. We wonder if he was locked in someone's garage with no food or water and got into some sort of toxic material.

After we got Nick into bed we went to the nursery. Tom said no way could we even get the bigger arbor home, he said it was way too wide. But the guys put them straight up on the car. We got it home and it would not fit thru the side gate. We tried and tried till I thought I would die. Then Tom said we should try to pull it flat out, which was so hard. It wanted to be U shaped and it was almost impossible to hold it more open. But after a horrendous ordeal and much collateral damage to the gate and to the plants along the side yard, we got it to the backyard.

See that man, he is about to tell me 20 times..."I TOLD YOU IT WAS TOO WIDE!!!" The big one is 8ft tall and has a 6 ft spread and is 3 ft deep.
