The girls are doing great, Pat!! They were just to see their Doctor on Friday, Lexi gained a bit more weight back, and Lisha might be able to get her cast off next week!!! They are really starting to play hard, just about wearing my poor old dog out though--Pepper stays real busy trying to keep up with both of them!!! Then when Pepper takes a nap, the girls go find some blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals to make the "puppy" comfortable!!!!! I think having a pet is a good thing for any kid, but for these two it's almost essential!! All things considered, I'd have to say they are doing very well, but still have a lot of recovering and catching up to do!!!! Thanks to all for your concern, promise to get some current pictures of them soon!!!!

You know Dave, this is something that really bugs me. Why don't parents let kids have a pet? I always had a dog or two around when I was growing up and even though I sneeze around cats, I still play with the neighbor's big orange tom when it is out prowling. Family pets help people not only psychologically, but physically as well. Kids need pets. Sure there are circumstances that prevent a dog or cat, but a goldfish? Heck, it wasn't that long ago somebody made big moneys selling digital key chain pets. Kids and pets both deserve a good home and it should be together. It seems like the girls and Pepper are supposed to be with each other thanks for what you have done.
