Bad Puppy is no more

[Larry Leung]

Kent,

Sorry to see her loss. She's been many a source
of topics on the list, and I think we've all grown to
know her (and you!) that way. Do you plan to do
an auto-topsy to determine her cause of death?
Inquiring minds (and owners of other '89's) want
to know.....
