Sterling sleeps with his tongue sticking out. While I'm (sort-of) on the subject of Pandora...I had thought that she is an albino. She is solid white & pink-nosed, but her eyes are BURGANDY. I was under the impression that DEWs have black eyes, so I figured she was albino, but recently, I heard that an albino has bright ruby-red eyes. Also, when we got her (6 or 7 mos. old), she had a few silver guard hairs, but the first time she shed she lost all of those but a few in her tail. You have to look close to notice them. Does any one know what my baby IS? Shannon, Sterling, Pandora, & Jasmin [Posted in FML issue 3515]
