<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many many thanks for all of the well wishes, drool
and prayers over the last 14 months. Our Soldier Daddy returned home
safely from Iraq today and his houndies went wild :) Twinkie--who may have
been abused by a man--is afraid of him right now, but the others exactly who he
was (and the fosters were happy to make a new friend :) Ginger climbed up
into his lap and promptly found a new slave more than willing to take a nap with
her in the recliner!)</FONT></DIV>
