Hi All -- though i usually lurk (for about the past 5-6 years), i find that i am moving to a new area and hoping that there are other fert-friendly people in the neighborhood :) We are moving to Rochester, Minn in March. I was hoping that there might be a fert shelter or group to meet up with. We also have a retired racing greyhound, (who is terrified of our fuzzelumps). I hope everyone is braving out the snow, and thanks in advance for all the information. Susan (no, that maltball is not yours Sparky!!!) Sparky (just one lick ?!?!?) Boing (die dustball die) Smudge (geesh, this food is good mmmmph mmmmmph) Freddie (PLEASE!!! Keep that racket down) Maury <babysitting> (do you mind if I just spray here? and here? and here?) Astro <greyhound> (What are these CRAZY things?!?!?) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Susan A. H.
