Poor Helen has strep and her dog just died

No that is not the title to a terrible country music song.  Helen has strep and had to go to the urgent care clinic.  Her mom told me that their old dog Jerry got sick at around 2am and died this morning.  Helen, the eternal optimist, chats to me not about that but that she thought the photos of her niece Nora were so so cute.  I called her later and she sounded tired.  She said she didn't have much energy and was sad about her dog but was so excited about her niece.  She especially liked the photo that showed her holding Nora.  Go Helen!!
