Always happy to hear your thoughts on the dogs Gina and I like hearing how
Brier has evolved over the years! I learn that way. As you can see I'm
running my mouth via my hands tonight. I've been slathering on the
Ketoprophen cream and have not typed for days and days and days so my wrist
has calmed down considerable, in fact it feels so good I have to sit down
and WORK tomorrow, oh yuck, but hey, at least my office is here and I can
stay in my jammies if I like all day! A big bonus for those days when I
really want to pull the covers up and not move an inch. Course the hooligans
won't let me get by with that anyway.

Better stop now, I've got the gabby babbles.
