Hi Ruth,

I wish I'd thought about one before I'd bought these puppies - it would have
sure kept these pups in line Lol  But I don't think we could have come up with
the fee they must charge these days for a full bred one :)  And good I didn't
given the fun we had with cars so far (g)

That's so funny :) Pete used to come over and demand constant attention til you
pulled out the brush - Leo is the same way, insistent on contact, etc.  I
haven't tried to brush him yet..

> -> hahaha I can picture it.. Lovely style dust mop :)

> Yep - he had a perfect dust mop of a tail.

I've been looking at the others in the litter more closely to see if any of
them anything close to Leo tail, and the only that does is Lulu.. but it's not
fluffy and MC's, it's just very thick and longer somewhat it seems that Lizzy's
and Lola's.  I'd love to know what they are mixed with :)

Makes sence :)

My mom's siamese did that to her kitchen doorway.. totally shredded both sides
of it..  hehe.. just remebering how my sister who works in LA brought that cat
home to my mother and said, 'here, take care of this beast, it's name in
boomerang because it bounces off walls at random' :)  She was working on some
film or other and couldn't take care of it.. Lee Marvin had given HER the cat
to take care of hahah

haha, I guess you mean she drags all her favorite things on it?  I've seen some
of my dogs go that and its funny... a little pile of toys, mine, mine mine :) I
don't remember Pete doing it, but he didn't have many toys since the Labs ate
probably ate them.
