Hi Ruth,

WHEW! Long address but I've got it copied down.

Sounds interesting. I've got to cut the alternating squares for my
Double 4 Patch, doing them in 2 reds and 2 blues since the small 4 patch
blocks are red & blue.

They do know how to hunt down the food dish however. Jenny had that down
but went on a hunger strike (She actually pushed the dish away.) when
she had to go on a lamb & rice diet. Vet said to go ahead & give her the
food she was used to eating. Sam didn't care for lamb & rice dog food
either, bought a bag as an experiment once.

Catch you later,
