    Callie, thanx for the tip on the pill box, the tech at the clinic also suggested it...

     Tim's mom came home from the hospital today, I had to take Talus out while the EMS guys and the nurse came...
    When we finally got back home and Talus saw his Grandma...let me tell you it was amazing...the smiles that
    lit up both their faces...it was incredible....

    Talus sends all of you his love and thanx and millions of smooches for each and everyone of you....

     Love, Maria, Tim and Talus

    Awwww, Tally Mon, you are a sight for sore eyes.  I bet that grass felt wonderful on your toes.  It looks so cool too.  Please rest up & take care of yourself.  Your people need you.  I think you & your grandma should just snuggle together.  Ya, that's it.  You'll heal eachother.

    *kisses* to you & *hugs* to your people.

    HAY TALUS -- s'me Billy the Venturin english cocker spanYELL!!!

    Shaved spots are just so folks go "awwwwwwwwwwwww". 

    Now -- you gots ta teech yur MOm about all the GUD stuff you can get pills in!!  (Yah - I am SOOOOO serry-us!!)

    Yogurt -- (my favrit!! yum)

    riccotta cheeze -- it's slippy but Mom sez "lo fat".

    liverwurst -- now this truly rocks, big guy!!  Tell Mom ta gets it in the deli-place.  Mom sez tell yur Mom ta gets a "good brand" -- but it's mooshy -- so yur Mom kin cut a liddle piece and mush a pill into it. 

    THEN (oh Tally=Mon is SOOO rocks!!!)

    you gets ta learn 2 new "tricks" (Mom calls em "commands" -- but *I* know a trick when I see 1)

    Mom takes a piece of steak ... or sumthin like that ... and holds onto one end of it while she sez "Chew GOOD" -- so you gets ta nibble on it while she holds it.  Yep -- this is SO kewel -- cos then when she gives ya stuff an sez "Chew GOOD Talus" -- and you munch munch wif yore teef -- it's YUM and Mom sez "GOOD BOY". 

    But ya no when she sez "chew it GOOD" that it's yummy -- like DUH!!  it's ALWAYS yum!!

    But some messinines are bitter yucky.  So ... then Mom has 'nother command. 

    "Just swallo" -- that means don't bite into it cos the outside is YUM and the inside is YUCK. 

    Yea -- this is nother of those humans things -- we dogs are pretty sharp -- and you only show/tell ME once that YUCK IT"S DISGUSTING but if the outside is slippey nuff AND it tastes good I can just swaller it fast, Mom's thrilled and SUMTIMEZ I get an extra piece of whatever is yummy on the outside.

    Like -- messinines.  Mom 'll put a pill in a liddle ricotta cheese or liverwurst and GULP -- (she sez "Just swaller Billy";).  So preddy soon it's a no-brainer that when that messinine box thingamy comes out YOU are gonna get yummy stuff!!

    Sometimes she puts stuff like yogurt or baby food meats on a spoon -- and pushes the pill inta that.  She turns the spoon over and SLURP -- down it goes.  I know it's yumm on the outside and duh ... I trust Mom to make sure I no when it's yucky inside so heck yeah -- I'm happy wtih the yummy outside stuff!!

    Messinines DO make ya feel better -- but heckfire man -- we might as well get the yummy stuff 2 -- no what I mean????

    Get bedder mate!!! An tell Mom not ta furgit ta bring the treats when you go to the horsepistal  place -- where  ever yur vet is -- vets LOVE to give dogs treats and when ya gotta go get stuck and poked and prodded -- well heck -- we might as well get yummy stuff there too!!

    Oh, I can almost feel his relief at being home in his own space with his family!  Sweet Talus, you're a much beloved boy and you have lots of people sending you good, healing vibes!  Maria, when you wrote about Talus and your mother-in-law seeing each other, it brought tears to my eyes.  I continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.  Hugs to all of you, and an extra kiss for each of Talus' shaved spots!
