Broken Puppy


To add to our hectic couple of weeks, last Friday night, we heard the dog crying very loudly in the backyard. That's ScooterPie, the little guy. Everyone went to the back patio door and there was ScooterPie sitting, holding up a broken front paw. It had a clean break above his 'wrist' and was just dangling there. It was horrible. We found a local Vet who would come back and open up his clinic for us and he set it.

We went back on Sat. morning and picked him up. He had on the weirdest contraption I had ever seen. Here's a picture.

Update

I haven't blogged here for almost 20 days! But things have been hectic. We have rotated some kind of virus throughout the family for a couple of weeks. First I got it and missed 3 days of work. Then Elizabeth got it bad with high fevers, but just for 24 hours and then Connie got it bad and she's been sick since Sunday night. So, we just stayed home yesterday and Connie isn't working today. She'll probably be fine by Wed. we're hoping.

Well, I'm working from work on Windoze, so I guess that's why it's not working. You'll have to cut and paste, I guess.

Link didn't show up in last post. Hopefully, this one does.

A friend of mine, Rich, and I have been working hard on getting Maclectic back up. For those who have known me a long time, you'll know I had a website called Maclectic BBS in the 1980s. It's still going. It has been reinvented many times and in many forms.

My friend and I are getting it back up in a new format that I think people will really like. The front page is similar to what I had last time, but there will be more features. We hope to have a shoutbox, where people can carry on conversations in real time with each other. Also, we're trying to get a Wiki on line, which will allow us to store important information alphabetically, like Wikipedia. One of the things we've not liked in the past has been losing important and informative posts that help people out with their computers.

I'm also very excited about the wordprocessing features of this system. Users have really great abilities to modify and structure their posts, inserting links and pictures quite easily.

You can view Maclectic right now and read up on Mac information. But the forums are not yet open, neither is registration. We have more work to do.

Maclectic is not limited to Macintosh. We cover many other areas such as humor, entertainment, politics, religion and much more. Here's the site to look at so far:
