    Lily is sick

    We thought that she just wasn't eating because of nerves. But she keeps getting worse. The vet gave us some anti nausea pill because she started vomiting. We also got some anti diahrea medicine for her. He will actually see her tommorow. Anyway I just had to vent. Thanks for listening.

    Hello to all you boxer lovers out there.

    Hi, I just wanted to say that. I don't really talk much, but my wife (JennaP) was sick of me using her account for what I had to say. So this one's for me. I hope that everyone is doing well, and look forward to talking to all of you. Bill:cool:
