What a Day

Dustin

We got a postcard yesterday from my human brother, Dustin! It was so good to hear from him! He's in basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC and he's been gone since mid-January. He used to call but he said that he doesn't get much time to do that anymore so he's writing to everyone now. I'm sad to say that he recently hurt is knee on a hike and was on crutches for a while. He said that his knee keeps hurting him some and that it keeps swelling. The doctor told him that he may need surgery on it in the future. He said that he's been told that he'll be allowed to stay at basic if he can keep up. He's trying real hard and he doesn't want to have leave or have his graduation postponed. Mom, Dad and I wrote him a long letter back and Mom even gave him some tips on helping with the pain and swelling. I sure hope he gets to feeling better soon. I miss him though, so does everyone. Whenever Dustin came over we had fun wrestling, running around, and playing tug. The only thing I found really strange about him, is that he has two (2) cats. I don't know what he sees in those things. Cats aren't nearly as great as dogs. (sigh) I guess I'll never know what he likes about them.
