And the other day I was feeling the little patch of exposed skin on her side that was shaved when she was sick (because Mark told the vet he felt a lump there and they wanted to check it - luckily it just turned out to be a HUGE bruise from all the fluid injections she was given) and it's starting to feel stubbly. The fur that's growing back seems to be harder and more coarse and Mark is afraid that she'll have one patch of really thick, hard fur sticking out of her side and soft fur all around it. ;)
Tomorrow we plan to go to Punchbowl to visit my Dad. It's his birthday tomorrow and I bought him a little bouquet of flowers and a mini-balloon. One would think that each year that passes, not having him around on his birthday would get easier... It's been more than 12 years since he passed away and it hasn't gotten easier yet. :(
