Good for you. Sounds like your nap did the trick.

We have a National train, too?!!

LOL! And, I loved the excuse to show my ‘jailed’ yorkies~!

Thanks for the cute white doggie with the red ball. Wish I had a dog like that! I don’t dare go to the Shelter - I would adopt every animal there!

Mine play chase and race across chairs and bed..but they have stopped getting on all but two table tops..both easy access to the next chair..They both are kitty proofed mostly..
My daughter’s cats go nuts when they come..it may take a few days to settle down...Mine start doing what they do ..O MY!
My kitties entertain me, Rahki is sitting on my arm and giving kisses..not good for typing..lol

Conor, I'm sorry that I had to have your post deleted. The train graphic was over 162,000 bytes. Since we have some on dial-up users, I have asked everyone to keep their graphics under 100,000.

Thanks for understanding and being considerate of others. If you need the link for resizing, let me know.

Thanks. Amy

I have chocolate backup..never fear..I want that graphic..WAAAA

I want a dog..but cannot walk one and have no fence..I love dogs, too.

[MEG33]

I have fun memories of riding the train to take my young kids to see my parents..My parents always took the train to go on vacation rather than fly.

[JustAmy]

I’m working on getting the graphics resized. I need to reboot so I’ll be back.

Don’t go away. :)

This kitten is beautiful!

Thanks Amy - I scaled it down, but I forgot that doesn't reduce the number of megapixils.
