Purrley,

Hi. Thanks for answering the "is this your first dog?"
question. I grew up with no animals in the house,
but made Friends with every single stray cat & dog
within a 2 block area of my home much to my Mother's
dismay... I'd sneak them into the house every chance
I got...LOL.

Anyway, just wanted to say I'm glad that you & Tess
are getting to know each other so well. Liz.
