great trish i was just thinking, i did not know all
our theology about animals was going to the list, but,
it seemed to stike a cord with some on the list and i
was going to change it to a thread of its own and just

have.
  it is a whole lot lighter than the other depressing
thread  we have going, and we can all use a little
lighter mix.
  every one?
