Hello again ,

I am so glad your happy with Turbo. It's not easy to find a home for older
pyrs. A big thank you to you and your family for opening your home to Turbo.

BTW, I don't seem to get these messages I send, only see reference of them
in other folks replies.

Am I doing something wrong when I send them. If someone can help that would
be great....

Kind regards,
Sandy Dyment
