Hi Carol,

>> I sure will .. we went out and bought him some new doggie toys yesterday
>> afternoon.. he was thrilled.  It's so good to see him happy.

> Cash got a new toy too but he really needs a doggie buddie.

Know all about that one ... Toby keeps bringing me his toys to toss for
him.. only inconvenient when he does that at suppertime haha...  but yeah,
sometimes dogs really need a doggie friend.. These kitties also enjoy it, but
I think they use the fact that there's more than one in the house to gang up
on us.. you know, like, "you trip them over there, I'll get them over here" :)
Though they're just about one year old now, they are definitely still VERY
kittenish.. last night we had to shoo Lizzie from jumping up off Ron's high
dresser to the Ceiling Fan (which wasn't on.. but the cord that hangs down
just little would have turned on the light .. probably at 3AM ).

Yeah, not always easy to do with spayed and neutered pets.. exercise helps
though.

Will be nice, no doubt.

Definitely think so.. I finally found the perfect dog in an animal rescue
shelter up by my daughter in Ithaca.. I'm hoping they don't tell me we are too
far away for the required home visit.. She's Shepherd/Lab mix.. beautiful dog
:)  Sounds like she'd really have fun with Toby as well .  I sent them
an email today to let them know that our vet comes here everytime we need a
vet visit, so maybe they could talk to him if Windsor is a little too
distant.. They do say that "close to Binghamton" is OK for them.. so I'm
hoping .. :)

Take care,
Janis
