Gail, I always said the same thing, then the pick of the litter had to go fall in TOTAL love with Pat Evans, a newbie. Eight weeks old and he planted himself in her lap and cried for her at the door when she left! The 2nd visit was even worse!! I ended up placing him with her after a long speech about how she would show him,IF, he continued to show promise. She fully agreed, but now she says she wasn't listening, just loving on him, LOL. Well, Miss Newbie Pat took that boy all the way to 8 x BISS Sel Ex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't get much sweeter than that. Since I got so sick, now she has Spunky's son, Bullwinkle, that many have said will out do his Dad.....we'll see. Bull is the spitting image of his Dad and fell head over heels in love with Pat as fast as his Dad did. I have been blessed. In the beginning, I had no intentions on letting either of those boys go.

After that, look me up and we'll talk :-) > > Gail Bauman ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
