Post Op Pics

Here are some recent pics I managed to get on to the computer. All is set for Leo's surgery tomorrow morning, and thank goodness he had a decent day today. Actually he spent most of the day just eating! Love to you all and send a prayer (again!) Leo's way tomorrow.


 Beefing out the chemicals with some natural remedies! Can't beat the essential oils for comfort and healing.
