    I was taking Oreo for his evening walk and came across these fuzzy critters.

    This one was squirming around everywhere.

    Shanna, please let us know when Glenda makes it safely to Montana. Oreo is going to miss her so bad. Give him plenty of extra love.

    Don't know the name, but real tasty with the fuzz trimmed off and stir fried with some fava beans.

    Oh, DR, I think you and Randy would get along famously if ever put in a room together. Of course, Dooley and I would have to leave to retain our sanity.
