   Chocolate can be poisonous to dogs. The higher the cacao concentration, the deadlier the poison.

   April, come she will

   When streams are ripe and swelled with rain

   May, she will stay

   Resting in my arms again

   June, she’ll change her tune

   In restless walks she’ll prowl the Night

   July, she will fly

   And give no warning to her flight

   August, die she must

   The autumn winds blow chilly and cold

   September, I remember

   A love once new has now grown old.

   April Come She Will,

   Lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

   Show me! A few miles West in Texas, parade goers ask “Show me your boots”, as many float riders are wearing cowboy boots under their gowns.

   I’d have the QB fitted for a new helmet. He seems to have had his bell rung at least once too often.

   Mike, if wishing and praying for improved health for you got immediate results, you’d be out in a sunny field tip-toeing through the tulips. Unfortunately, the Healing Department is inadequately staffed, so you will have to wait an unknown period of time for results.

   I don’t know if this is valid or not, but I have always believed that good sleep has healing properties. In that case, perhaps the sleep you started getting within the last week can be parlayed into something good. But secure yourself to any chairs you’re going to fall asleep in so you don’t hurt yourself again. If I fell asleep on the porcelain throne and fell off, I am pretty sure I would re-break my leg in the same place. And believe me, I have experienced enough pain to curse, although not in the past 4 weeks.

   Best wishes and prayers for your rapid recovery.

   Charlie.

   My broken leg. Saturday before Thanksgiving I was walking my dog Hank (my 3rd dog) and stopped to chat with a neighbor. When I changed my focus from Hank to my neighbor, a 10 year old kid came down the street on a skateboard. Hank hates skateboards. Hank took off like a rocket, with me at the other end of the leash. I fell like a cut tree onto my left side, breaking the femur just below the ball of my hip. Bone on bone pain just laying there in the street. Any attempt at movement just made it worse. Like being loaded into an ambulance, moved from gurney to gurney, etc. Even IV Morphine only dropped the pain to a 6 out of 10 when I was at rest.

   But, let me interject here that it’s been over a month since that happened, and my current pain level is negligible. It sounds like your pain is continuing, and I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with that on an ongoing basis.Anyway, the worst pain came Thanksgiving Day. Petey, my 2nd dog, died, probably from Cancer (a bleeding nasal tumor). He was only 6 1/2 years old, and was just the sweetest boy.Hank has been given or loaned to my grandson, Tristan, and we’re down to just one dog, Darlin’.So I will be remembering you in my prayers. Get better soon. Best wishes for a Happy New Year.

   Last attempt at painful humor:

   A brunette goes to the doctor, and says, “Doctor I’m hurting all over my body.”

   “That’s odd”, replied the doctor, “Show me what you mean”

   So the girl takes her finger and pokes her elbow, and screams in pain. She touches her knee and cries in agony and so on.

   The doctor says, “You’re not a natural brunette are you?”

   “No I’m a blonde”, she replies.

   “I thought so…. your finger is broken.”, replies the doctor.

   Here’s another:

   Just got back from the ER and I’d like to reassure you guys that I’ll be all right after a couple of days on pain relief.

   But I just thought I’d warn you that the Dyson ball cleaner is really misleadingly named.

    2 hours earlier…

    “Hey, are you going on a date tonight?”

    “Yeah, but I’m a little worried. I haven’t dated in a while, so I might be a little rusty.”

    “Don’t overthink it man, what’s the worst that could happen?”
