RESOLUTION 2007
get over 210 rwhp

WORST 2007
lost our beloved Barney after 13 years of faithful companionship following a serious seizure just a week before christmas.

BEST 2006
It's a tie, first having an artist capture both Barney and Shilo in pastel on a poster for my wife at christmas just 3 weeks before he passed and second bringing little Gretchen into our lives.
