First, thank you all for your well wishes for Fanny after her escapade on Monday. This afternoon, The Vets, a traveling veterinary service, came to my casa to change the bandages on her hind paws. Fortunately, one had completely healed; the other was treated and is encased in a new bandage. They will return on Tuesday to check that paw.

Both the woman vet and her female assistant provided excellent care. Fanny didn’t seem too anxious and cooperated with their examination and treatment. I found both women professional, competent, a caring, and I would highly recommend The Vets.

Though I still suffer from near nausea every time I recall Monday morning, this traumatic event renewed my faith in Americans. We are kind, patient, courteous, and compassionate people, who just need in remind the inexperienced about the brutality of the Phoenix inferno.

Go in peace, my sermon has ended.
