Last night I was sitting around with my roommate watching t.v. while the
fuzzies ran around the apartment, and after a while, I saw Reverend Maynard
tippitoing down the hallway with a photograph in his mouth.  It was so funny
looking.  After a few seconds it occurred to me that a lot of chemicals are
used in developing film (I don't know which ones) and I wasn't sure if it
would hurt Maynard, so I took the picture away, much to his chagrin.  (the
picture was of a friend of mine on her horse, maybe he's trying to tell me
something...he wants a pony?  he wants a camera?  I don't know) But he
followed me everywhere the picture went and he seems to have developed a new
affection...can I let him have the picture?  Will it hurt him?  Just wanted
to know.
 
Sometimes they do the darndest things, ya know?
 
I've also noticed many posts about the adrenal disease, but I don't have
time to always read the whole notes so let me just ask...I've had Edie for 2
years now.  I got her from a shelter and they approximated her at between 1
and 2 years...so I guess she's about 3 or 4 or so...not a little kid.
Anyway, she was way undernourished when the shelter got her...weighed less
than 3/4 lb, but she's put on a bit of weight and she's weighed 1and a
quarter pounds since I've gotten her, but she's never had a thick coat.
Otherwise, she's healthy, just very petite.  I don't know if the itching
problem I asked about a few weeks ago has anything to do with her coat, but
especially on her tail, the hair is pretty sparse.  She's not bald anywhere,
but you can see through the hair to the pink tail underneath...she's been
like that since I got her.  Should I worry?  If it was adrenal, would she
have gotten worse by now?
 
What can I do to make her coat better (she eats the same as all the others
who have thick luxurious coats)?

Reverend Maynard: "I'm not looking at you."  Edie: "Snore, squeak."
