Bad Days and Tennis and Dog Walking

It has been some very bad days here. Sat was especially bad for the USMC, we had numerous deaths and 3 very badly injured marines come in, and to top the day off had a VIGIL for Capt Lisa Jade Head, a female EOD officer. She did come to Cmp Bastion and then was flow home and died after getting back home to Britain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13139980
Sunday we had 8 local nationals come in and yesterday several children with bad injuries from IEDs including two with lower extremity amputations.
But things go on here. Today I got to hit some tennis balls with my "partner" fellow Brit Surgeon on our "clay court"...well actually our Afgan dust court. . And for Easter Sunday several of us got up early and had a "dog walk". Pic is of my British partner surgeon taking a with his "pup". I got to walk Skype again. I wonder if I can pack him in my seabag when I am going home!!!The dogs are great therapy.
