Sending lots of good thoughts your way for good test results for your Kiddo!<br /><br />I think that it is fantastic that all four grandparents were able to make it to Grandparents Day - your son must feel very loved.<br /><br />I haven't read Three Cups of Tea yet, but it has been on my wishlist for some time. Would love to hear what you think.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740407235304163454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-39659164298467062652010-03-27T19:52:10.841-04:002010-03-27T19:52:10.841-04:00I'm sorry to hear about your dog.

I hope everybody is adjusting.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about Kiddo's latest results, but hopefully it will be easy to treat.<br /><br />That's great that Kiddo was able to have all of his grandparents with him at school and that he had enough to go around! <br /><br />I am jealous of your book club locale!

I hope you get an answer on the ulcer soon. <br /><br />I finally read 3 Cups of Tea a few months ago and really liked it - Greg's story is compelling.

I hope you can get to the bottom of Kiddo's issues and get them all sorted out. I thought that ulcers could be caused by a bacterium? Or would antacids nullify that? Anyway, I hope it gets sorted out soon.

On the ulcer, it’s likely not hereditary but who knows? He’s had endoscopies every few months for years, and this is the first ulcer that they’ve even found …<br /><br />Suey – I’m glad someone else has noticed the dying-dog trend – it’s quite sad. Thanks for the Kiddo comments – we do what we have to do, and try to keep smiling. :) And I’m glad I’m not the only one who scratches my head in confusion over Blogger’s spellchecker …<br /><br />Erika – Thanks!<br /><br />Bermudaonion – Oh, I hope your dog is feeling better …<br /><br />Ti – Yeah, you and Kiddo definitely have a LOT in common health-wise. I’m so sorry! ~LOL~<br /><br />Allie – I know what you mean about the book list changing, but I figured the 2010 edition SHOULD last me for a while … :) And you are quite welcome – I too love finding bloggers who read a wide variety.

Dogs are more than just pets. they're best friends.<br /><br />I keep meaning to get a copy of "1001 Books" but it just keeps slipping my mind when I go book shopping.
