I haven't written to the list since TVO passed away. It makes me happy to be
thinking of him again. (gene; Lisa) He was a very special person, he was.
Intelligent doesn't seem the right word for him. I'll have to give it some
thought. The year that TVO passed, was the same year that my husband took his
life. He was a brilliant man too----maybe too brilliant. He couldn't stand
living on this war torn earth any longer. He was only 52, but he & Tvo has a
lot in common.

Thanks for writing about Tvo once again.

Empty-handed I entered the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going ~~
Two simple happenings
That got entangled.

What breed do you have? We've looked at Soay, but I'm kinda worried that
they might be too small with the local coyote problem. So we're also
looking at Icelandic.
