Title: Re: [pyrnet] Re: Intro & new pup question

LIsa -  LOL what a GREAT story!  Thanks so much for the image.  I would love to see a movie or picture of Panda in her pool.  My Emily digs at the cartoon figures and splashes around.  I put her toys in the pool and she works on cleaning them out.  Great fun for her.  I saw her lie down once in the shallow end but she mainly gets her feet and face wet.  Right now she's into playing catch with her stuffed toys.  She catches a few but most just bonk her on the head.  (-;
