Sandee, You're not the only one to be glad you're not down here in all this white stuff. Sweet old Gizmo absolutely could not stand snow! When we tried to put him in it, he held two paws out of the snow at a time, looking like he was trying to hold up all four! Considering the past few winters we've had here in Maryland (not much snow to speak of), Gizmo sure did pick the right winter to pass on. :-) {Love you, sweetie.} He's probably snickering right now at all we've had to dig through the past few weeks. ===== Aileen & the Herd minus one Herdling Slinky, Kyle, Noel, Sandy, & Rootie the beagle Missing Gizmo so much. We love you, baby. "And when they sing wind-songs, they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine." - Ashley [Posted in FML issue 2949]
