Hi Shirley! Yes, Phillipe is fine. M vet diagnosed his probem as "rat tail." Dear little Phillipe just needs to have his trail cleaned to rid it of extra oil and blackheads. One of the pens is complete enough that I can take the fuzzbuts out there early in the AM before the heat rises. The drainage pipe is set up, running along the wall abt 3' up, and except for my picnic table and benches, there is nothing else in the pen. But they *love* running through the pipe and peeking out the ends of the Ts. You sure made my day (night) by saying the play area descriptions made your heart soar with joy!!
