Yup...great guy.  We're very fond of him and look forward to his return 
when he finishes school...just don't get too attached to him.  He's a 
real "keeper".  We're having an abnormal winter here...even my poor 
malamute is shedding heavily because his system thinks it's time to do 
so!  Flowers are blooming and who knows...the birdies might start having 
little birdies.  I worry that they're all in for a big shock in 
February.  If what I think will happen happens, my poor saucer magnolia 
will wind up with little brown nubbins come real spring.  Sigh.  Give 
him my love when you see him again!  Anything you can do to make his 
stay up there go well, I'd be really appreciative!
