Marie! What a great idea, and so sweet of you to worry about my poor un-named "girls". I think I'm going to wait awhile...

I don't to end up like the guy who adopted a puppy of unknown parentage from the pound...named him "Tiny". A year later, Tiny was more of a riding animal than a petting one (one parent MUST have been a Dane) Yikes!

If they stay uncomfortable too much longer, I going to name tham after people they don't like. (the girls are blind right now...so I read that aloud to them. Hope they got the hint!!

Now for the word! I love a challenge! You know me so well already!!!!
