Knowing how wet everything gets when I wash my very small short-haired dachshund, I cannot imagine the drenching you must have received from two collies!

I enjoyed reading your responses. How funny about your desk being moved every day (funny because it wasn't me it was happening to)!

I just love MEMEs. It's such a wonderful way to learn about people.

Great lists! By the way, I'm with you on the Matrix (Movie #1) only!
