Mitch Spence 9/1/2008 12:23:35 PM

Hey, thanks so much, Renata, Carolyn, Eileen, Jeana, Jennifer, Susan, Karu, Melissa, Kitty, and Bonnie. I really was just going to sit on the porch and read for awhile. No computer, no shooting, but there was the camera and there was the cat. Can't help ourselves, can we. :) Carolyn, Holly says she needs to see Boo's picture before she makes any far-reaching decisions. More important, she needs to know how well stocked he is with cat treats. #6396436
