Nouglas?

We were playing a geography game this morning at breakfast - we were telling Owen cities and he was finding them on the map. I suggested El Paso and he said, "Look! Here's Douglas!" (Arizona.) He was very tickled to find a city named Douglas and pointed it out to Douglas, complete with spelling it out. Then he said "And here's Nouglas!" - um, no, that would be Nogales. I could see why he thought that, though.

Poor Violet is going to have to have the end of her tail amputated after all. They tried to save it through stitching it up, but the end is dying. The vet looked at iton Saturday. She said it is actually pretty common for tails to just shut down if they are injured. The blood flow there is pretty low because they are so small. So, we have to bring her in Thursday morning and pick her up that afternoon.
