update

The past week I would have to say went very well.  Besides work, we went to visit Brett's mom in the hospital for most of the week.  She is doing very well, but had to have another surgery because her pancreas is still leaking toxic fluids into her body.  She also had internal bleeding, but the time they read the cat scan it had already stopped bleeding.  She is now sedated and has to have a breathing ventilator till at least Tuesday morning.  As of right now, they think all the bleeding has stopped.  Good news, Brett’s brother, Chris, is coming home from Texas, where he is stationed at Fort Hood.  We’re a little worried that Chris might scare Leigh Ann, but I’m sure she will be excited to see him.  The doctor saw her this morning and said she is doing very well and did not have to do anymore surgeries this morning.

"the kong"

When I first typed in "kong" in the google search engine, pictures of king kong showed up.  A kong resembles a snowman-like structure.  A kong is one of the first original dog toys around the world.  This particular toy is used by many professionals to train dogs.  The kong is also able to handle several different kinds of treats.  The kong is made to be hollow in the middle so people can stuff treats inside of them made for the dogs to get out.  Not only is it used for treats, it offers durability for dogs to chew on, it helps aid in cleaning of teeth and gums.  Kongs are usually made of all natural rubber.  It helps trains your dog and keep them from being bored at the same time.  The kong also comes in different colors for different sizes of dogs:  red for average chewers, pink or blue for puppies, purple for "seniors", and black for "tough chewers".  The toys were originally made by the Kong Company in Colorado.  The company owner, Joe Markham, orginially made the kong in the 1970's.
