I must be one of the blindest people at Pet Talk to just now realize this thread's existance . I have got to make a habit of checking out other sections of the board more often. In the dog girl/boy thread, I saw Phred list 2 boys and a girl, and I knew then I had missed something! .

I've read about half of the posts and realized I must get back to work for now and read the rest later, but I was enthralled and enchanted and misty eyed through the first half. Phred you are a true wonder and inspiration. Those words are pitifully inadequate but the best I can do to describe my feelings!

Thank you for the beautiful read and I plan to finish later.
