6. Your personal babies are adorable! I love the cactus hedgehog pic.
Kind of like an "Anne Geddes gone wrong" picture. ;)

16. Yup.
Carry a slime-rag on you at all times to wipe his jowls when they get runny (frequently), and Boris is just a big huge hunk of love. He's a leaner. He'll just lean on you, preferably trying to pin you to a wall, while you pet him. That, and his lapdog routine, which you've seen before, just kill me. He's very gentle, though, for such a huge dude.

15. He eats a good bit.
but my bulldog puppy takes in a shockingly similar volume of food in a day now, and he's significantly smaller:



They are funny as hell playing together, BTW.

33. Riley's sweet! And you prob'ly don't need to be told this, but because I'm
paranoid and somewhat obsessive, I have to say it: Don't let him eat the tinsel. It could be fatal.
Happy holidays to you & Riley :bounce:

34. Thanks,
He's been duly warned about the tinsel. I watched him quite closely all of last evening and he seems to have gotten the message.

35. I had to give up my beagle when I moved......
And I don't have any pictures on line to post here.

But this pic is pretty close to what he looked like.

Say hello to Clyde:


Now that I look at the picture, I miss him. :cry:

I just need a minute. Sorry.
