November 2, 2004 - From Ms. Mary to RC:
Thanks! The menagerie sends lots of hugs your way. When they see themselves mentioned in an incoming email, they get really excited. I suspect that Patriot Bear SIR has been scheduling practice grabs and hang-ons during the day because -- so far -- they seem to do a pretty good job of keeping each other from tumbling off the bookshelf when they read an email like yours.
The menagerie is available 24/7 -- some more so than others -- on my web site. It is going to take a while for all of them to get their little stories up with their pictures, but they're working on it.
