I'm delighted that Claude was found, safe and sound. I'm sure Geraldine
is much relieved. I hope that if Newman ever gets out, people will know
him well enough to know where he belongs. Larry walks him all over the
neighborhood all the time, and people throw such a fit over him...seems
everyone knows him. He takes him out and  people come up to him and
say, "Oh! That must be Newman! I've heard about him!" And of
course, we have our name and address on his tag. But it's the cars you
worry about the most!

Thank goodness you and your son weren't hurt badly! I HATE drunk drivers!
My son stopped a couple of years back to help a woman whose car had
stalled, and while they were pushing the car out of the way, they were
both hit by a drunk driver in a truck who was doing 70 mph! Her back was
broken and she'll never walk again (in fact , she's almost paralyzed from
the waist down) and both of his legs were crushed below the knee. After
two major surgeries, he now has more metal than bone in his legs, but he
can walk. He hurts all the time, but at least he CAN walk. He's only 22.
The woman is 32. Two lives--one changed forever, one virtually ruined
completely. Just because some  *&&!#!@ couldn't stay away
from the booze and thought he could drive. The man was already driving
without a drivers' license because he'd lost it with his DUI...no
insurance. He was living in his brother's garage. Lovely, huh? What did
he get? 6 years probation and a $1,000 fine. Oh...and 6 months community
service. Lovely system we have, huh?

BTW, on a lighter note, Newman is now big enough that he can sit on the
couch. Literally. He backs up and SITS, with his front feet on the floor.
When he wants to be petted, he backs up to me and sits in my lap!
