Dear Lucy

[Catherine]

We are having a bit of a software issue. Until it is sorted out we are going to have issues sorting out who posted and where the post is. I can't see it either. We are just going to have to check threads manually to see if there is a message and some may get lost. Our tech wizard is working on it, but it may take a few days. We had to do the upgrade because the makers of the software want to only support the new version. The old version has been great. I don't know why they needed to change it.

It makes sense to avoid dog parks. For a smaller dog it might not be safe and you are right about diseases. Not all pets are healthy and you could put you dog at risk. Plus those of us without dogs love seeing dogs like Suzy. It makes our walk better if we can a happy dog walking.

I have small domesticated corn snakes. They are pink and silver and peach/orange and a whole lot of pretty colours. Most people forget their fear when they see how pretty they are and how friendly. I had some of them at our local street festival and they loved it.
