Hi Arnie and sorry so long to reply...don't worry this study does nothing to help me. My dog had surgery for tumor on his eyelid last week and has to be watched constantly or he will wiggle out of his Elizabethan collar. If there are any PWP besides Mary Helen in AZ who want to help support Jim Pederson's Senate campaign in 2006, let me know, he supports stem cell research, his opponent John Kyl does not.
