For all those who are asking, Butch is great. I cannot believe how well he is doing. We are walking at least two miles a day with weather permitting. Also trying to get last minute visiting in before we head south next Saturday. The weather forecast makes us wish we could head out sooner but we also have to get two different doctor visits out of the way...one on Thursday and another on Friday. I plan to wear my heavy coat.;-) Butch looks good and feels good and is not having problems of any kind. If it weren't for that lengthy scar on his tummy you would never know he had surgery. So...we are very grateful for all the good fortune we have been blessed with in the past and look forward to many more blessings in the future. A million thanks for all the helpful thoughts and prayers that came our way.
