nursery critters

Thanks Marilyn,

I have not been following this list closely for quite a while and decided the 
other day to take a more active part in discussion. I guess I shouldn't have 
deleted the old messages before I did so.

What's the address for the archives please?

Re the Digging Dog Nursery Duncan. Interesting logo. I was disappointed 
that there was no reference to the trauma that may have led to the name 
as there could have been tips to help stop the excavation of our lawn.

cheers
