Kathy,
CONGRATULATIONS!! Way to go Sezja! I have to say that I saw the picture of
Sezja *greeting* Evan, and I must give him credit for looking as though it
was no big deal! I loved the Christmas photos too! It's up to us what
breed(s) we want, as long as we know how to properly handle them....Good
job!
