Thanks a lot. I'm happy to report that this evening when he came around for dinner he was looking much happier. His leg is still not better but he might be learning to manage it. #9906879Lyn Darlington January 08, 2012

Yes Pat, Limpy is much better these days, his right leg is just a little turned in, other than that you'd never know he had gone through a rough patch. I'll try & get a new picture to show you. Kookas are very entertaining eh! Tony got a good report from the doctor today,thanks for asking. #10128841Chris Ebben May 08, 2012
