<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A week ago today we lost our matriarch
Nellie. After consulting the Soldier Daddy, we acquiesed to my daughters'
wishes and officially adopted Twinkie, our foster who swallows and regurgitates
strange objects intact (ballet slippers, neckties...) I fear no other
adopters would put up with her, either--and we're used to her silliness.
She looks a lot like Nellie did 10 years ago (she's about 8 yrs old.)
She's not a young dog (thank goodness!), but hopefully we can give her another
6-7 years of a great life.</FONT></DIV>
