“Rocket Man” and the North Korean government...

“Rocket Man” and the North Korean government ... are so loony-tunes in general that today's news of a possible move toward denuclearization is really hard to get excited about.  Their sincerity seems so unlikely.  But if it were for real, it sure would be a wonderful thing.

And, interestingly, a vindication of Trump's approach to the NoKos...

The Ipo saga continues...

The Ipo saga continues...  Ipo was spayed about 10 days ago, but her incision is not healing well.  We've been back to the vet with her three times since the initial spaying.  This morning I took her in for a second surgery.  The vet's going to go through the skin on her belly to expose the sutures in from the spaying in the muscle layer, to make certain there are no issues there (he's not expecting any).  Then he'll remove all the old sutures from her skin, on the theory that she's been having a reaction to those sutures – then he'll close the new incision with staples, because the stainless steel in the staples doesn't provoke any bad reactions.  Poor girl! 

She was all excited when I took her in this morning, though.  First, she loves the staff there (all of whom came over to pet her).  Second, another dog was waiting with us: Bailey, a six month old female German shepherd.  The two of them got along famously.  There was much puppy-bowing and gentle play, entertaining all of us waiting.  She's a happy girl, especially as she has no idea what's about to happen...
