Wow, thanks for sharing that.

I keep waiting for some of the books of her photos to go on sale. I love her work, and I think the books are beautiful, but man! I can't bring myself to pay full retail. I may buy them used in a few years.

You know, it was awful at the time, but I now have the BEST story from it. At this point, it feels like a fair trade.

Oh! I'm crying. Thank you.

Yay! I do so love being useful. :-)

It's harder to mess with the cat genome. Dogs have a "slippery" genome, and that allows for a much faster rate of mutations.

Any fan of Burt is cool in my book. :-)

Buuuuurt! You still love us!

That's all I could think too. "That lamb isn't having fun! It's trying to catch up to its flock! Stop frightening the baby!"

I don't want my in-laws, whom I adore, to feel that I might be rejecting them and their family. I think I'm keeping it. Everyone has been so helpful! Thank you!

Thank you! Everyone has had such great insight on this matter. I really appreciate people being willing to share their stories and thoughts with me! I honestly feel A LOT better about the whole question now.

I'm so sorry!

Because I love my in-laws and it would hurt their feelings.

I actually believe Ozzy is a rescue. He was terribly injured as a wee baby weasel, and taken in by these folks for rehab.

They're not, really. They're vicious. Adorable, but vicious.

Thank you!

I like your care-free attitude! Thanks!

Thank you! Good advice indeed.
