Re: [pyrnet] puppies

[Suzanne C Bell <comer4@citcom.net>]

Wow, Robyn, what a new year's beginning. I feel as if ours, with Sugar, has
been so calm and peaceful. We have been so grateful for a good match, Sugar,
because having a two-year-old human, we would been put over the edge with a
new puppy!

Are you doing well after your surgery? Gallbladder, as I recall? Don't mean
to be nosy, just concerned and supportive. I still hope we can get our girls
and boys together for a play-date soon! Now that I've discovered I have mono
(you may have seen the e-mail), I will wait a few weeks, then perhaps call
or write to find a time to get together.

Best,
Suzanne
