I didn't even realize until tonight that there was an "other" section to Pet Talk. I am going to be driving home (to Vancouver Island) around that time and would love to stop in with the hounds for a day or two, if everyone's welcome!? Maybe I could strike a deal with someone who lives or is staying up there to "dog-sit" mine for a few hours so I could slip in a round of golf or two; I have an outstanding vendetta with Gallagher's Canyon to settle! Is that course back up and running? I haven't been there in a few years now and I heard it was heavily damaged by the fires (was that 3 years ago?).
