QUOTE OF THE DAY: From the Presidential Radio Address, 4/16/05:
American families and small businesses across the country are feeling the pinch from rising gas prices. If you're trying to meet a family budget or a payroll, even a small change at the pump can have a big impact.
America's prosperity depends on reliable, affordable and secure sources of energy. And today our energy needs are growing faster than our domestic sources are able to provide. Demand for electricity has grown more than 17 percent in the past decade, while our transmission ability lags behind. And we continue to import more than one-half of our domestic oil supply.
Every source of power that we use today started with the power of human invention, and those sources have served us well for decades. Now it's time to apply our knowledge and technology to keep the American Dream alive in this new century. There is nothing America cannot achieve when we put our mind to it. And I urge Congress to work out its differences and pass an energy bill that will help make America safer and more prosperous for the years to come.

You're very welcome, Meg.
Those are great photos, snugs. The sheer joy in them makes me smile. BTW, FReemail to you momentarily.
Hi, snugs!! Get any rest last night? Thanks for those pictures--my favorites are when he is having fun with other folks! Yes, he does love people, and, you know, they love him, too, sometimes in spite of themselves (think former prez. Cl-----!) LOL!
I think you are right I think he just loves to be out and amongst people.
Time for a cuppa!
g'day Wolfstar! How's Ricky going along?
G'day to you, Oz. See my FReemail.
Having such a man like him as President, I can't help but wonder where we are going to get a "replacement" in the next election that can even come close to his energy, personality, and love of people! It is going to be a real challenge for the R's! Pray for us over here, snugs, that we find another hero like W!!!
FReepmail back to you. :0)

Welcome! It's nice to have you here with us.
Hi ya how you doing?

Height at the withers is the same for bitch or dog in Scotties. That doesn't really mean they are the same size. The male is normally heavier in weight and more massive in substance as in any breed of dogs. Scotties are no exception. The Scottie standard allows for the dogs to weigh more than the bitches. Normally that will mean the dogs is bigger regardless of what it says in the standard. Ten inches at the withers is acceptable for both sexes though.
