Hi Brier friends,

Sorry to send a photo attachment to the list (sure hope it is ok).  Had
to
show off our 4 golden kids in their new patriotic bandana's!  From left
to
right is Michelob, Austin, Chelsea & Jake.

Mich is recovering from his surgery last week to have two cysts removed
(one
just under his eye & the other on his shoulder).  Thankfully the
biopsies
came back clean!  But he is picking & scratching at his "boo's", so an
e-collar is on it's way home to him!  Jake is still having issues with
his
urine leaking.  We have him on DES... but so far he hasn't gotten a
falsetto
voice (unless you count his Chihuahua impersonation -- which Gina can
attest
to).  Chelsea was diagnosed as being dysplastic in her right hip last
week...
so right now we have her on a tight "watch & see" evaluation & are
continuing
to give her "Next Level" daily.  Austin is healthy as a horse (knock on
wood)
& he is one of our rescue boys.  Go figure...

I'm really missing all the fall colors from "home" this time of year.
But
when it is cold & wet and rainy in Oregon I won't complain about the sun
here
in AZ!  <g>   Well, I hope this note finds everyone in the Pacific NW
(and
other parts of the country on this list as well) all happy & healthy and

enjoying your Brier kidz!  Speaking of Brier kidz, our latest issue of
the GR
News came in the mail a couple of days ago & SeaJay's ad looks
fabulous!!
Kudo's to Gina & George (and my favorite boy SeaJay!)

Golden Hugs,
Yanna & Rick & The Golden Menagerie (in Sunny Arizona rooting for the
Diamondbacks!!!)
Michelob, Austin, Chelsea & Jacob-Riley
