Yes it has been a long time - I think at least a year. All kinds of stuff has happened. It is almost like I got a new life all at once. Changed jobs - Now I am the Nursing Supervisor for a really busy, really large OBGYN office, I am in the process of adopting my 3 yr old nephew, bought a new car (little red conv. mini cooper); inherited a beach house. Just so much has changed. Anyway, I was surfing around and thought I would see what is going on here - I had spent so many hours when I first got Willow - everyone was so helpful. So, now I am looking for another dane and I'm here again - seems like a natural gravitation.
