I guess that's all I should expect from you, rw.

Anne and I are fine thanks and Geraint now 8 years of age is slowing
down a bit.

Forgot to tell you that Henry died on March 5. Very sudden. He died
in Joanne's arms on the way to the emergency vet. We miss him
terribly.

It can be awful, and can take time to get over. We lost our Gwilym, but
in his case it was a dreadful experience taking him to be put to sleep.


A week later we picked up Jenny, a female Golden, while visiting
family in Georgia. She's a great pup, full of spirit and mischief.
She had trouble urinating so off to the vet we go when she's about
five months old. Seems that old Jenny was also a Kenny - a classic
hermarphrodite. Back to the vet and $1600 later, no Kenny, just
Jenny. A snip here - a tuck there - and voila, we have a female
puppy. d;o)

Male puppies have to be assisted to urinate - the bitch will lick the
appropriate part to encourage urination, perhaps this was the problem.

Whatever I'm sure jenny will grow to fill the gap left by henry and hepl
heal the loss.

$1600 !!! what's that in our money - about £800 perhaps. I have
insurance for Geraint and it comes in at £26 per month with an excess of
£85 per illness !

He's worth it though.

Regards and best wishes

It is illegal to shoot a brown bear in the Katmai.

Not entirely true. A legal hunt in the Katmai occurred at about the same
time you wrote the above. About Oct. 1 this year, while I was in Alaska, I
read a front page article in the Anchorage paper about someone who had
videotaped one of the legal hunts in order to bring into question whether
hunts for human acclimated bears could be considered "fair chase". The tapes
even caused the biologist who had authorized the hunts to question his
decision.
