WOOOOOOO! I’m glad you made it there, baby. Didja get some snuggling time in? And more importantly, have you utilized my gifts yet? Auntie Nym is always looking out for you two. 😃 ---

I just _have_ to find out what this gift is. If you don’t tell me, my evil brain will make it into something much worse than it is, I’m sure. 😉 ---

I don’t know if I want to know what the present is, all I want to see is the link of the picture of Nym and Rasa. Keith ---

It’s above, Odie. In scratchie’s post where it says, “This is a link to a pic of Nym and Rasa.” I thought that might have given it away, but maybe it was too subtle. 😃 ---

Sorry Nym: Well I guess I’m tireder then I thought, I had read that post twice and I managed to miss it. It is a cute picture of the two of you, although I’m gonna have to add black hair to my mental image of you. Keith ---
