[nagdu] Benny's problem

[Tami Jarvis]

Tracy,

Yikes! Well, now you know. Glad he passed the twist tie safely. I swear 
those things drop out of nowhere onto the floor, at least around here. I 
truly do not know where they come from. Scary things when you have dogs.

Here's to a continued recovery!
