<DIV>Julie, I loved the K9 combat equipment site. Wow--the one person was a "canine parachute instructor". Michele, could this be a new career for Todd? Colt and Ruger would LOVE to dive out of airplanes, I'll bet.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Congratulations, King Holly Noelle. I wish I could get to Michigan--the Waddle sounds like a blast. Other stay-at-homers: there are lots of us out here in one boonie or another.</DIV>

<DIV>Good dog, bad dog. I am so used to Bo being a poster dog for bassetude--he is not an officer in the "Nay"-vy for nothing; and Harley being the soul of cooperation, that I was bowled over by the person at the doggie daycare where we drop the boys every now and again for a few hours, commenting:, "Well, Bo was of course an angel, and you know Harley--so anxious." Harley? I had forgotten Harley is a total mama's dog--my shadow and quiet and cooperative with me; howls like a banshee if he can't find me or DH. It was nice to be reminded that so much is situational and relative. </DIV>

<DIV>Our doggie ramp to the yard is working well. Sort of. Bo has decided it is amusing to stand at the top of the ramp, squat, and pee; then watch the pee run down the ramp. Pee-uuu. Fortunately it rains a lot here to rinse off the ramp.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Semper fido, everyone. Val, Bo, and Harley</DIV></div></body></html>
