Honestly...I'm tired. Spending a lot of time with Thomas and I'm
grateful for it, but he's tireless and I'm not. Suzanne went to sleep
at 8:00 and I'm only up because my buddy is bringing my radar system
over and a new grill.

I'd recommend a puppy for Thomas... or a brother/sister to play with.
Personally... I'd go with the puppy if I were you. Something Thomas can
smack around... like a Lasa Ahpso. It would serve a duel purpose and doesn't
require much space...... plus you can use it to polish and buff the new
boat this spring.
