Z now has a hole in the mass that was scheduled for surgery. It really does look like we are done with Bruce Pit forever

Insurance company nurse was in to do my vitals. Even after four reading my BP was something like 129/87. I then went straight to a drug store BP machine. What a difference: 122/72.

ride in the rain

Ziggy will be having surgery. Since Saturday, he has been giving too much notice to a very large skin tag. He refused to enter the dog area at Bruce Pit this morning so we walked elsewhere.
