Today I got an incredibly sad piece of news from AFRICArdo: Pipi lost all of her puppies. The details are kind of sketchy, but from what I understand, she was in labor for three days, but didn't give birth. FarMaria got worried and she and AFRICArdo took Pipi to the emergency room, where they performed a C-section and removed three dead puppies. I guess Pipi's doing OK now, but, from what I hear, it's been pretty hard on FarMaria. I'm going to write her a note when I get home tonight.

There's plenty of work-related insanity, and, once I get home, I may well write about all of that. But for now, Pipi and FarMaria are what's on my mind.
