All good

Halia is just fine. After a brutal drive to Guelph, we met with a top dog cardiologist, (and like 6 vets to be), had a 45 minute ultrasound done, and they determined that yes Halia has a heart murmur. The good news is that it is the best type to have. She will not have to go on medication, it will not affect her activity level or diet, longevity. All things considered, who could ask for more?

When we first met the doctor, he shook Billy's hand and said, "Hi, I'm Michael Grady it's nice to meet you." Billy was like... "Yeah, uh, me too, I'm Michael Grady and it's good to meet you." actually the doctor's name is O'Grady, but he and everyone else dropped the O. That was weird.

Halia was really good considering she had several strange people touching her in odd places, and had her movement and breathing restricted while on a table in a darkened room for almost an hour. She was pretty happy to pass out in the back seat of Billy's truck for the ride home, rising only to eat a cheeseburger from McDonald's. Good girl!

So anyways, lots of good stuff coming up this next week and over the next couple of months. A party, camping, Survivor, Big Brother, a couple of closings, etc... Sadly golf ends very soon, but Billy and I are going to do our very best to extend the season by golfing a bunch in Tennessee. Volleyball starts in less than a month, which will be great because we:

- Go back to Murphy's every week, and have not been there to enjoy a pint (or 3) of Stongbow since Easter.
- Get to see Dave Bedard weekly who always has great stories, and is officially Mr. Party Maker of Fun.
- Get to actually play volleyball
- Tree's siblings Rose and Eug are playing this year... should be fun.

It's a good relief to have Halia's health concerns behind us now, so we can move on and enjoy the good things.
