I'm happy to say that my CeCe is 11 1/2. She's stone deaf and is wobbly in the rear but loves her food and makes sure that the youngsters stay in line. She doesn't look her age either, barely gray. My Jasmine is 8 1/2 and as tough as they come and is as healthy as a horse. Mary DeFalco ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
