Hey Marissa, I am just now catching up on the weekend's emails. I hope that Slinky is doing better after resting this weekend. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you are doing everything you can. And it's out of love, and Slinky knows that. I hope to read that Slinky is better. How are you feeling? Did you end up getting sick?
