Thanks Gina. Its great to hear about the SU stash. I'll have to make a
pilgrimage on my next flying trip home! I want you to know that I ran
across your website right before I bought my Border Collie and I've had so
much fun exploring. I'm embarressed that I hadn't noticed that theses
articles were already up! My Mom was actually the one who found the
articles -- ahe's finally made the last plunge into sheepdog-dom from her
formerly stauch dachshund stance. I'm VERY proud of her!
