@Calmwaters
You mentioned 2 breasts but not what size. I guessed at 1.5lbs to not over load it by ratio of ingredients. Not sure which day yet but the kids will not eat spicy so had to try mild.

I just want to drive down there, break in and bring him home. I hope karma is real!
I wish I could have another one I would be first on the list of potential adopters.

Man that's awesome brother. You're a good man, and I appreciate you. She's fighting up hill, but she's fighting. :)
 
Prayers sent John.

You're always the top dj when you're up for #Smorgasbadafterdark Joel! Please, you have a very dynamic taste in music.
 
She's going to be in the hospital for a while, and probably won't be able to live on her own anymore. Just got a lot to figure out brother.
So sorry John, I have her and you in my prayers double overtime.
 
I’m sorry to hear that, let me know if there’s any way to help. Here to talk if you need it. I wish you and her the best of luck in this hard time
As always, VR you're an excellent friend I appreciate you brother.

My wife wants a horse or 2 as soon as the kids older enough where he can respect the horse.

Edit: i was super scanning and didnt realize it was a dog! Oops! Poor thing. Hope he finds a good home!
