Thanks for the responses to my questions. I promise to withold kisses in the future when I'm sick <g> Tink seems to be fine now. Playing and eating everything in sight as usual, attacking ankles and cats. She even has her old attitude back. (if you do something she doesn't like, she'll look at you, hiss, and turn her back) Had to laugh when reading the June's response to my Waardenburg question, Willow does have white knee patches. Those and the matching one on her tummy are so cute they just beg for kisses. Just a little something to make you all laugh (or grimace). If you kiss a male's tummy and it's wet, just remember that it's not always because he was playing in the water dish. The sad thing is that it took me half a day to realize it wasn't water. still laughing (and spitting), Darlene [Posted in FML issue 3248]
