Gorgeous pics of your fur-clan, Tim! I just adore Steele- he has the most wonderful happy face. i love seeing muddy puppys, but i don't envy the clean up job you have with those gorgeous coats of theirs.

I also hope you don't stay off PT permanently. It was such fun to have you & yours at the PT picnic, I think all of us who were there feel the same way. Your posts are always a delight, they will be GREATLY missed.
