Herein lies a bit of a problem about Vietnam. The human medical care here is quite poor. Going to a hospital with a vague statement like "I feel dizzy when I stand up sometimes" is going to result

The sky looks really clear. isn't it supposed to be smokey season there now?

Great story man. I grew up Catholic but have not been to a service in 20 years or so. I went once when I was visiting my grandfather, who was seriously Catholic until the day he died. That food looks great

oh and it's not a chili dog but I should suggest that to the guy that runs the little stand. Hot dos must be something that aren't as easy to make as we might think because even though for the most part

yeah, I think I am more sympathetic towards the suffering of my dog than I am of my friends probably because my friends can talk and also do something about it but with my doggie, I just have to guess.

yeah, we got some pretty good news, which I am going to detail in an upcoming post.

well I think all the good times are worth the heartache that you feel at the end.

was the guy apologetic and understanding? I remember how crazy the road rage was in USA and we don't really have that here despite the traffic being far less regimented and pretty chaotic. I wonder why

That really stinks man. I feel faint every now and then when I do certain things and almost every morning of mine feels like a chore. I've never actually HAD to sit down though. You gonna be alright?

we'll get through it. Some touch choices might be coming my way soon.

Yeah, that's what seems to be the case. This is my 4th dog in my life but the first one that I have raised from pup to old. I think it will be more difficult for me than the others.

I haven't had to deal with death a whole lot in my life yet, but as I get older I start to see that more and more of the people that I grew up with are passing on: people related to me, friends, and a
