[AT] they're cute but be careful...

[Cecil Bearden]

I knew of cat scratch fever and expectant mothers...  An animals mouth 
carries some of the worst bacteria around...   When I had Blue Heelers, I 
would wrastle with them most every evening.  When we got done playing, if 
one of us wasn't bleeding, we werent having fun!!!!!!

Dick:
I wish you all the luck to a speedy recovery..
