**squeal** Oh Chopper! Just look at all those wonderful, colorful doggie toys your family in VA ordered up -- er, DOWN! -- just for you! He hee, such fun.

My cat, Sparkle, age 11, does the same very Fall. She never tires of playing int he leaves and wehn it is time to come in, she brings a mouthful in WiTH her. I sometimes have to "rake the kitchen floor."

Did Duke and Champ go on the long ride with you, Chopper?
