Hi Janis,

 JK> haha.. just remembering Ron's dad slipping hamburgers to our german
 JK> shepherd at family barbecues .. he couldn't understand why I was upset
 JK> either (bg) And you know how big a shepherd can be.. this girl was
 JK> over 120 lbs., and tall.  She was a long haired german german-shepherd

Big dog!  One that you didn't argue with over food!  My dad never gave
any food to the pets as he was grilling but he always let the cat(s)
"clean" the grill before he brought it in to be washed up.

 JK> (grin).  Loveable and gentle, but would steal anything she could if
 JK> encouraged like that :)

 JK> haha.. We had an irish setter when I was growing up .. when I was

The first time my parents got kittens, they got 2 because the man that
gave them the kittens told them that kittens only come in pairs.  We
used that line a few times when we couldn't decide which of 2 kittens we
liked better. (G)
