[GOPisEvil]

17. I'm on leave this fine day.

I've got a bunch of little things to do today, and needed some time off.

[Andy_Stephenson]

19. Lucky Bastard...

I will be thinking of you when I am getting an IV placed for a 3D CT scan.

[GOPisEvil]

22. Ack! That means a needle!

:scared: I'm such a wuss when it comes to needles.

As for my good fortune...you are quite right. I'm one lucky guy overall. :)

[yvr girl]

28. Don't let him fool you

GOP has posted from work on occasion. Shocking, I know.

That puppy is adorable. When my dad was in the hospital, my mom would bring their dog to visit all the time. I'm sure it helped my dad. Snoopy was very popular with everyone on the ward - he would have to make rounds and say hi.

[liberalnurse]

14. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

He is so precious! O8)

I want to hold him.......

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. He's beautiful!!!!

And, as you know, dogs love me....

Um, lots of newspaper on the floor.

[Andy_Stephenson]

20. I can hardly wait to hold him.

Termite said he would be good therapy while I get well. Said "he will make you get your ass outta bed."

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. So will the nips with sharp teeth....

English springer spaniel?

[Andy_Stephenson]

33. He is a

Rat terrier.

23. Check with your doctors about the advisability

of being around a puppy or other animal, especially if you're on chemo or otherwise susceptible to infection.

If you haven't already ...

[MissMillie]

24. what a lil' darlin'! I want him!

He sure gets my vote!

[Marnieworld]

25. Yay Andy!

Puppies are the bestest! It's such a good idea for you to get a little friend to help you along on your healing journey. All the laughter that comes from loving somebody so cute will help you. The name of course is just priceless. I think about you everyday Andy. I never ever for a moment thought that you were a fraud and I'm so freaking happy that you will get your surgery at JH. I was even excited when I saw my check cleared which is usually not the case if you know what I mean.

Anyway.. sending you happy healing vibes again and always.

Peace,
Marnie

Too cute!

:loveya:

[miss_kitty]

30. With a name like that, I DO hope he makes it big in nationals

Nothing would be sweeter than to hear Ron Reagan (or any of the other announcers whose names I don't know) say something like "And now, the judge is giving 'Voter Verified Paper Ballot' the once over. Look at that confirmation! We have a real charmer here! Would it surprise the folks out in the audience today to find out that 'Ballot's dads are politically active?"

[enigmatic]

31. He's a sweetie!

Congrats, my friend:)

[VelmaD]

32. He's so cute...

I promise to come visit him as soon as he's potty trained. :)
