Kwistee – cute is as cute does! :-)

Jon – =LOL= you took the words right outta my keyboard.

Barbara – thanks for explaining about manatee hospitals. Animal rescue and rehab centers (other than the SPCA, which deals mainly with domestic animals) aren’t really in a lot of people’s conscious awareness. People should watch more Animal Planet, IMO………

Fallon – =LOL= When my son was about 8, he did a report on them too. He and his best friend even wrote a song about ‘em. Both kids were taking piano lessons, so they could read music well enough to write it down. Wish I still had a copy – I think my ex has it somewhere.

In second grade, we each had to do a report on one endangered species. Ever since then, I’ve had a soft spot for manatees (my best friends’ species) and lynxes (my species).

Now I’ve had my C.O. manatee fix… BRING ON THE LYNXES!
