Howdy 11sdad. I'm around, just busy with a challenging client and following a kid 500+ miles away.
Oh, and I wish I could take 2-3 of your puppies.....but with an empty house all day, it might be tough to watch the place become a giant chew toy. We'll think about it this weekend and let you know. They're awesome!
I hope all is good with 11 -- and football *cough*.
Happy Easter.
