[NAGDU] Hello

[Danielle Ledet]

Yes I will get another dog when the timing and circumstances are
right. Now I have a place to live I just have to orient, er, reorient
myself and get more money coming in.  Then I'll be ready.

>> Hello. I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. My name is

>>  Thanks in advance for any help/stories/information,

>> Janell and Sully  :)
