btw, love the puppy! bishon? I have two elderly cocker spaniels (the ladies) and they are due for their summer do's. they get puppy cuts. today Kitten came in with her paws all clumpy with mud in her feet feathers. monkey manages to stay out of the mud, hates anything wet. my cats never play in the mud, too undignified! my avatar is a mughug I made to represent my red cat tiger.
