Hey, Cinder and Smokey - the server didn't eat nuthin' - you posted twice, that's all! :P Silly doggies, a good habit to get into is, if'n you're gonna post a big long tail - uh - tale, before you hit "Post" copy all you typed, and "paste" it into a notepad or word document or sumthin - that way if for some reason it gets wiped out (too many smilies, you say?) you can just copy it from that other document, and paste it back in, savin' lots o typing time and keepin' yerselves from having sore paws!

I know this isn't exactly it, but Cinder's encounters with the skunky remind of a little poem I learned when I was a little kid that went something like

"I was out walking in the woods last night
and I saw a little cat that was pretty
I reached down to pat her and Hey! Eeew!
It wasn't that kind of a kitty!"
