Slick, thanks so much ... what a memory you must have to remember that thread from January! Clearly you have not reached my age, where just remembering something from yesterday can be a stretch! I appreciate the welcome and look forward to sharing the experiences of others here. I will also contact Cataholic, since she has been managing for 2 years now!

I'm sorry for your losses with Casper and OJ ... we lost Callie (20 years old) in October so I know how tough it can be.

I'll probably be posting often. In addition to Lily, we also have Socks, a 1-year-old baby. I'm having to get reacclimated to what a youngster can do, since my "girls" have all been old for so long!

Thanks again!

Deborah
