I joined Gather, the first time, back in January of 2006, I believe. I bailed out in July of 2007 and returned again in late August of 2007. The biggest reason I quit is every day I was getting a dozen . . .

The Full Moon does something for the mutts. I leave the back door open, and that does even more for them. It’s late, three in the morning, but I can’t sleep and they don’t want to sleep; . . .

At 6:30am I stand in total darkness in my front yard. Tiny drop of water slam into leaves that haven't fallen yet, and then those drops crash into the leaves on the ground. Daylight should be showing . . .
