Re: [pyrnet] Max and Beau

Hi Barb,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  AdoptaSaint just had a joint 
Canine Carnival with Basset Hound Rescue a week and a half ago, so I was 
very busy with that (there are a couple of pictures of beautiful Pyrs from 
that event on the AdoptaSaint  website by the way).  To top that off, I got 
a Saint last week from Mammoth Saints' kennel who's already completed his 
championship and needed to get out and enjoy life, so he is now occupying 
Max's place on my bed at night.  The funny thing is that even though he's 
about 500 times bigger than Max, he only takes up about the same space on 
the bed.  :)
