Hope Mowgli does well. These little ones give us so much joy.. But then again you want to wring their little necks. I hope all goes well the surgery.

Thanks Charlee, I know some folks are having a lot more to deal with than one of their fur babies having surgery, but it just kills me thinking about Mowgli going under the knife! He has Perthes disease of the left hip/femur! I never heard of it - we thought he hurt his leg playing with our Jack Russell! He has to have the femur head removed and the neck of the femur shaved, then he will form a new femur head, neck but it will require keeping him off his feet for a couple weeks - lots of carrying him around! The whole thing scares me to death! Anyway, Friday is the day it gets done!

I have a yorkie that had to have the same procedure. She is just fine. You would never know that she had it done. Tiny dogs do really well and it is common in yorkies. You both will feel better when it is over and he has had time to heal.

Nancy, I totally understand the whole cost of gas issue. It's sure adds on to the cost of the machine. I'm sticking as local as possible as I've shared with you I have a bit of vet bills myself!!

You are in my prayers. I hope the whole thing is straightened out soon.

Sorry to hear about Mowgli's need for surgery. He will be in my prayers, as well.
I can identify with the idea of carrying him around for the time of healing. We had a similar situation with one of our furbabies due to hip problems.

Hmmm... Wonder if that is a buttonholer or a box of attachments. The price does look good for a 221.

I think it's a box of attachments...and you're right, it's a good price, especially for a Centennial model...

Nancy, Sorry to hear that Mowgli will be needing the surgery. I know that your really wanted that treadle. Life throws unexpected detours every so often, and it isn't until later that we understand why. Enjoy your beautiful machines that you presently own, and while Mowgli recoups make a small quilt for him with one of your lovely ladies.
