I started off by adopting 'Max'..........

He's still downstairs after a major 'heart-lung transplant'.... seems he
got worked to near death and wouldn't have survived without it!! They used
to retail at about $2000.

After Max went in for his surgery, I looked around, and we adopted 'Sunny'.

And he even came with a bonus grinder!!

He's been with us at home for about 18 months now, and the one at work is
about 20 months old....... and he gets *flogged*, but is still going
strong!!

LOL!! I even have the honcho's ringing up from head office telling me they
are coming for a visit,and want to have one of my 'famous coffees'!!
