Hi, Aleta! I wonder if you would reconsider the use of the word "fine" in the first sentence. I'm sure that what you are saying is that it is a "fine boned" or "finely structured" doggie but I fear that for 99.7564% of your 'Merkin readers it's gonna mean "nice" or "high quality" or ''something'' that really isn't your intention. Just something to think about, along with the dangers of a common language that so bitterly divide us, as G.B. Shaw said, I believe.  Cheers!

:Easily done, mon copain.  Actually, these little beggars are 'fine' in all senses of the word, but I do take your point.  Thanks, Hayford.  [[User:Aleta Curry|Aleta Curry]] 05:37, 1 May 2008 (CDT)

Easily done, mon copain. Actually, these little beggars are 'fine' in all senses of the word, but I do take your point. Thanks, Hayford. Aleta Curry 05:37, 1 May 2008 (CDT)
