I've learned my lesson the hard way... this wound (almost healed I hope) inflicted by Murphy 6 weeks ago has been a royal pain in the ass, and is still preventing me from playing pickleball.

Watch yourself on the network news
Pick up the telephone and dial
You can talk to anyone you want to

It's a Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby

Biscuit has a condition common in Shar Pei’s called entropion where the eyelid rolls inwards, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea, leading to discomfort and corneal damage. This $5 Friday please help by donating towards her surgery at www.josiesmisfitranch.org #5dollarfriday
