yay! pictures! Regis is absolutely beautiful. i love the
picture of Gareth(?) "guarding" the piglets. i assume he
takes his job seriously.

and, of course, the Cow Dogs pictures are wonderful! i
haven't seen an ACD IRL in awhile and i'd forgotten how
bristly looking their fur is. i think i'm in love with
Ranger. whatta face!

nod Pitbull-headed dawg. Sometimes "pimple-headed dawg". Not much
*in* that fat, square head, but it still amazes me that such a little
dog could leave such a big hole in my life.



Oh, dear, I had no idea Noah was no longer with you, Mary. He looks like a
total gem.

Danke.

My son had a guinea pig when he was little.
Everytime I opened the fridge door he'd start
squealing. I can't imagine what it sounds like
at your house!

It's much quieter than a few years ago. The fish are gone and the tanks
taken down; the guinea pigs eventually died of old age. Sibyl (leftmost
cat on the couch) has been gone for about 5 years.

Noah passed away suddenly two years ago, after a short illness. This
spring was a bad time for ANZ cats -- little Dora the Explora (she was
with us for less than a year and I never did get any pictures) and
Gareth both went to the Bridge. Gareth had been seriously ill for
several years, and was on a first-name basis with at least three
graduating classes of vet students. Stunning cat, and the
sweetest-natured critter to ever draw breath.
