[nagdu] Pawpower Creations

Thanks so much for that update. I ordered a harness at the beginning of 
January that I never received. Bob did let me know that he'd been having 
medical problems and spent a lot of time hospitalized, so of course I 
haven't been bugging him too much. I'll call Paypal tomorrow to see what 
I can do about getting my order refunded.
