All this talk of Mystique brings me back to the days when Henry specialed Punky. Since she went into season every six months like clockwork, Henry and Jane had a heck of a time keeping her "in coat." They groomed her to the nines! But it WAS difficult. Wish I knew Jimmy's "secret" for keeping his bitches in coat! Of course, Punky went on to have 4 litters of pups--she was an excellent mother. Those were the days! Penny in NY ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
