We will be posting new pictures soon but I just wanted to give everyone the news that Ernie is going to be okay.
Hate to get hokey... but seems as though prayers have been answered. No tumors or cancer! Looks like he picked up a fungal virus on the drive to California or when we got here (months to incubate) that can be treated with long term medication.

If you don't know already...Ernie has been very sick for six days now. He has had some testing for serious nose bleeds (possibly tumors or maybe just a bad injury) and now he's going for more expencive tests. In the end none of it may help but a few prayers.



PRAYER TO ST. FRANCIS
FOR OUR PETS

Good St. Francis, you loved all of God's creatures.
To you they were your brothers and sisters.
Help us to follow your example
of treating every living thing with kindness.
St. Francis, Patron Saint of animals,
watch over my pet
and keep my companion safe and healthy.
Amen.

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.
