Tough saying goodbye to such lovely coins, Steve! I hope the biopsy results are good.

stevex6 · « **Reply #632 on:** February 25, 2019, 02:36:08 pm »

Thanks for the coin-comments, gang ...

Carausius => thanks for the health-concerns (yah, it's been a pretty lousy year, health-wise)

Oh well ... on the brighter-side

=> my dog (Larry) managed to locate, eat and then destroy an opened tin of dog-food that I'd accidentally left on the kitchen counter (she's soooo fricken bad ... but man, she makes me smile)

NOTE => somehow she did "not" cut her paws or her mouth! (yup, she's an amazing dog!)
