Nicker,
Have we lost you forever? I know something interesting has happened lately. For instance, I took Chase to my son's first soccer practice. Big mistake. I had him on a leash and he sooo wanted to go play on the field with the kids and chase the balls. All the kids loved coming to the bench and petting him but that didn't seem to be enough for Chase. Every time they went back out to the field to play I had to hold him and tell him just to watch he just kind of whined and layed down. Snack time was cool for him because the kids get a break in the middle of practice and I brought the snacks today. We all walked back to the truck where the snacks were stashed and all the kids wanted to hold the leash including my son. None were allowed. Chase is four and a half months not and a big boy. I weigh in about 304 and he still extends my arm from time to time. They all seemed to be perfectly happy running with him to and from the truck and they defiantly enjoyed the coolade and chexmix and then went back on the field to practice. I felt so sorry for Chase because he just sat there and had to watch with no participation.
Anyway, Let us know how things are going in your world, miss ya.
Joe
