Awww Darwin (mopping up tears around m'eyes....). How blessed your family is to have Buford (BUFORD? What kinda name is THAT fer a dawg?) <smile>. AND how very lucky Buford is to have ended up with THE most perfect loving family for HIM! Please give ol Buford a hug and a kiss - right on his nose - from me, 'kay? (Errrrr.... but please don't tell my wee kitty, Scooter, I even MENTIONED another animal, much less virtually hugging 'n kissing 'em! She'd be very jealous... (Buzzy cat could care less - Just as long as I feed 'em regularly ) Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Hawkins, Darwin <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, June 08, 2000 3:06 PM Subject: FW: GOOFY >> Logic dictates that if we have: >> >> Donaly DUCK >> Minnie MOUSE >> Porky PIG >> Bugs BUNNY >> etc., etc., >> >> then it follows that it should be: >> >> Goofy DOG >> >> I have owned some of them lovable animals over the years.
