I brought the pups back today evening. They are running around and eating voraciously. The doc put a bandage on them, so that will have to be redone in a couple of days. The stitches are to be taken off on the 11th or so.
The Mother can be brought back tomorrow or day-after. Thank you Father for seeing this through. Now to get back into self-enquiry, its been a bit shaky for the last couple of days. I find reading Practicing the Power of Now helps me the most, or listening to the audio of PON.
