Plus, Tigger is home! Tigger is a year-old lab and pit-bull mix who escaped his leash in a New York City dog park on Dec. 20 and could not be found. His family searched for him every day, putting up fliers and creating a Face Book page for him. Word spread and last Tuesday, the 14th, they got a call from someone whose friend had found a dog matching Tigger's description. He was found underneath an East River pier and was taken in during the polar vortex that gripped New York City and rest of the nation. So, Tigger went home.

"Guess who snuck into bed and isn't getting kicked out!!!" the couple wrote on Facebook late Tuesday. "Soooooo happy to have Tigger home. Can't believe it!!! It's almost like the last 3 weeks were just a bad dream. Thank you to everyone for your amazing support, prayers, messages, and incredible efforts and help. We love you all!!!"

The couple said they offered the man a reward, but he refused, saying he just wanted to "see Tigger every once in a while."

For dog lovers, the story gets even better. During their search, the couple discovered a stray dog and wound up fostering him.

"How could we say 'no'?" Aranov said.

Hope you recover soon. I'll try to find happy posts every day, but what's this NJ subpoenas thing? Should I be looking there for good news? Well,......maybe.

Fluids, rest. Take care, my friend.
