He's doing better now, out and about again visiting Susie on a daily basis. Matt and Kristen are coming Thursday and will stay until the day after Christmas. He will enjoy having them there, I know he hates being alone though he doesn't really complain. He has his cat Smokey and the day that cat is gone, will be a very bad day for Joe. He loves that cat SO MUCH and he is a very nice cat, very friendly. The bad thing Smokey is old and too fat but he is still here for now. I know Susie misses him too. She and Joe Facetime and Susie always asks Joe to show her Smokey.
