Oh! I was wondering what the hell a mastiff was.

Weirdly enough, after I read about the mastiff in your care, I picked up a book that Kirstin had given me as a birthday present looong ago, and behold: "The General read somewhere that Columbus brought a pack of mastiffs to the New World to terrorize the savages."

I forget who you are, already. Come home soon and I can remember. Please keep the 20th of Dec. free for my birthday. Thank you.
