This one's for you, Dakota, my very best pal ever.
Miss ya tons.
Hey, Princess, thought you might like a little purple vinca too. I bet you have some beautiful flowers in bloom over the bridge too.
Hey Big D, I'm the new sibe on the block, little C - C for Ciara. Mom says I am her other princess, but the boys think I am just a boss. Mom says you were the boss too, so I guess I am working at filling in for your paws.

last summer she developed & stones in her right kidney n 5 on her left. thankfully after some meds, they all were gone. and now, this summer they are back.all coz of not drinking water.thanx for suggesting the medicine.will see if that is something like what she is having already and if different, will tell her to try it.
