Thanks, the 4th and Shadow

Will and Diana came on Saturday, the 28th of June, to help us get the patio down. Thanks for all your help. Carbon was gone to scout camp for a week so not much has been done since. We had a 4th of July gathering and had lots of food and fun. The patio seemed so much bigger. News update on Shadow. He suffered a back injury that has left him with nerve damage. He spent a night at the animal hospital and came home Tuesday evening with a bag load of prescriptions. He is doing much better. However, he probably won't be able to run like he used to. Hopefully he will be able to get around. He is confined to a dog crate for two weeks so that he can rest and recuperate. I have to carry him outside to do his business and then carry him back in. He can't jump up or go up or down stairs.
