His sister tattled on him, so he didn't get to eat much. Gotta love 'em anyway.N.

Lee IS my middle name, but I'm as Chinese as Reese Witherspoon. I really hate the idea, but I may have no choice if I want to publish it.<br />BTW, LOVE the pic of your Aussie. I've had two blue merles, but they both had blue eyes. My current Aussie is red and might have demonspawn or at least a trickster in his bloodline.

I like what they finally settled on: Elspeth Cooper.<br /><br />Mirella - Thank you soooo much! I'm just flattered that anyone actually reads this word scramble.N.
