Well, the rain is gone and we might even get some sun today.  And happiness of all happinesses, Rio is feeling much better!  The antibiotics have kicked in, the appetite is better, and mom is breathing another sigh of relief!!!!

And perfect timing, too, a special package arrived last night!  What could it be??  Nope, not that silly purple dinosaurus, Barney.

I look good in red!!! Thanks Granny Kay!
