Pat and Brian are, I believe, now in transit northwards. Whether they will be closer to the existing Mainers, or Charmion & Edmund-- whoever has a chance to get to know them will be enriched.

They will be missed, but OTOH they invited us to visit, and we had already thought a New England swing might be our next vacay. And TBTG they are experienced onliners, so we just won't get to pet the dogs quite as often. :~)

Bye Sean! Bye Orla! Good doggehs! Enjoy your two acres! Grow nice thick coats, and muscle up ASAP!

Please keep a good thought for their journey, which will be a physical challenge for each of them in very different ways.
