i just looked over and noticed something i forgot to mention in my last post...when Amber and Jacques came over they had me some swell gifts smartly wrapped in flag-themed walpaper (does it get sweeter?): Know Your Miniature Schnauzer and In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O'Brien...much thanks to those two rockin' dudes...as i sat down to start typing all this, Lacey jumped onto the chair and climbed in laying down behind me...she's resting quite nicely...it's cute...the end...
