Dawn,
No need to post this really.
I have made the final decisions on the T-shirt. Shirt color- maroon, Wheelchair athlete- gold metallic ink, Wings- gold glitter. There is more information on my blog. Of Wheels and Wings.
I am sorry to hear about your hatchlings. I am so glad to hear about Dr. Hawking. Thank you for the education on Rhinos. I have to catch up with the rest of your blog.
Thanks,
Laura
Rhino porn? Really? I love your enthusiasm for these often misunderstood animals. Indeed, while I can't QUITE get it, I admire the enthusiasm and caring you bring to your fish (and Rhino's). I swear from here on in, I will always look a Rhino straight at the lips to tell them apart.
Beth -- Remind me to tell you the story about me hand-feeding a one-year-old black in the Summer of '07. It was so GROOVY!!!
