No, it's not the same as hoof and mouth disease common to livestock. However, one of my cute little animals (Han) has contracted it. (The picture above is during one of Han's finer moments last summer.) The poor thing has had a mouth full of ulcers for the past week, and has lost her appetite. She seems to be recovering now, as she ate quite a bit for dinner and finished off her meal with a donut. Hudson apparently really likes donuts, because he burst into tears when he finished his off and couldn't have the one waiting for Russ to eat. We told him that maybe his PaPaw would buy him a donut when he goes to see him soon. When Russ was praying with the kids before bed, Han paused trying to think of more things to pray, and Hud prompted her with, "Pay donut, Pay donut" (Pray donut). She carried on with, "Pay donut, Pay donut," then paused. Hudson jumped in to help her again, "Pay PaPaw, Pay PaPaw." She repeated after him, then paused for her next cue from Hud which was, "A-em!" (Amen!) She finished off with a sincere "A-EM!"

This must be the time of year for the hand, foot and mouth disease. My other nephew had it not too long ago, but has also recovered nicely and is now in Kansas visiting his cousins! We sure enjoy hearing those kids' antics! What a great prayer team!! Love you all!
Too cute! That's a great picture of Hannah in the air! I hope she's feeling better! How do they contract the disease?
