John, thanks for sharing the photos. Interesting to see how someone else sets up an in-home shop. And anybody who has doggie pics on his site is all right with me! One of my three fur babies is snoozing on the floor of my office right now...the perfect officemate! BTW, in case you aren't aware, if you go to http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com you can click on a button to help feed shelter animals for free; sponsors pay for the food. I've been doing this for about 4 years and have never gotten any spam or had any problems.
