I am so glad Finn came through with flying colors. I hope he is back to his usual self.
About the ring--do you mean the sapphire and gold Carol Ackerman ring? I am thrilled that someone else can really appreciate it and wear it so well. I am actually on an earring binge lately, not sure why.
By the way, I follow along with the NIRDI posts and am so impressed with everyone's support of each other. Can't believe some of the outrageous stuff you all have been through and survived! There is a notable shortage of dog pictures and stories, however....
