Dull Knife's Astro
Here is the new member of our family. She is adopted. We found at an orphanage down in Pennsylvania. Once we met her we knew that she would fit in perfectly with the other members of our family. I am just glad that she will be spending Christmas with a family she can call her own. I will be posting more pictures as she grows.

Oh how fitting to see that Dunedog was the 1st to reply to your post Jim DK! ... Has Dunedog introduced himself to you yet?
Both of you have '99s. Well Dunedog ... Jim here said no SPB for him but I am sure you can work your charm to have him swinging just a bit higher up. Look he has snow to deal with as well!
