Just checking in to see how your dog duties are coming along. I hope Emma is healing and that Diesel hasn’t eaten anyone yet.

Having A Ruptured Appendix On Labor Day 2006 I was brought to Saint Luke's Hospital. My parents didn't know why I wasn't eating or drinking water for the past couple days when I was 2 years old. My mom thought I just had the 24 hour flu because I kept regurgitating, but she was completely wrong. What I had was way worse, but who knew I had a ruptured appendix? No one knew until that night of Monday, September 2, 2006, Labor Day. At home, I was acting like I had the 24 hour flu, I was…
