Swissy....I like it!!! My name is actually Heatherton and everyone at work calls me H, HT, or H-ton!! But your reasoning for shortening is much more justified!!! Anyway, I can sooo relate to the allergies, I haven't had my voice for more than about two days for 6 weeks now. The kids on my soccer team just think that my voice changes since it really hasn't been right all season!!! I think I caught a bit of a cold on top of it as that was going around and my ENT wants to strictly blame it on the dogs!! Now, if it was solely the dogs fault, wouldn't I feel a bit better after leaving the dogs for 8-10hrs when I go to work!?!?!?
