i am glad you had a good time, Bobby.
those are nice gifts that your friends gave you. especially the reassurance that if you were in trouble of any kind they would help look after your dog.
i am glad your friend Robert was helped with a Claritin! i wonder if he was coughing or has problems with broncospasm. i get violent allergic coughs sometimes and they cause pain after a while. it is good that he ruled out cardio problems though. better safe than sorry.
