My herd is up to 10 now, with the addition of three from Shannon Venis a
month or so ago.  (You might remember her post about us getting them back
from a wretched pet store.)  All three are doing great, but I do have a
question about one of them.
 
Two are albinos.  They are the first albinos I have ever seen.  The third
one is a mitted sable but he has red eyes!  Granted I have been out of
school for quite a while, but I could swear that albinism is a recessive
trait, and consequently, a sable could not have red eyes.  Can anyone help
me out with this?
 
Two other general notes to make....
The last time I posted I asked what color our little fuzzbutts can see and
the consensus was red.  I have painted the babies' room barn red and they
actually have been spending more of their "free range" time in their room
playing.  So a big thanks to everyone who told me about color preferences.
 
Also, my four newest additions have all had their shots with no bad
reactions.  Until I joined the FML I took this for granted.  Now it is
something I am very thankful for every time one of them needs their
boosters.  I am thankful for their good health and the wisdom and kindness
of everyone on this list.
 
Have a happy and healthy (and safe if you are traveling) holiday this week!
 
Debi
and the tempestuous ten.
