True, for the most part as you say... When we got them home the first thing I
had to do was get them in a room with a gate blocking the doorway to keep my
two also newly adopted pups from eh... playing with them like rag dolls :(
I've seen dogs play a bit bit too roughly with kittens :(

Yes, that was I loved about those 4.. Leo was the most beautiful yellow tabby,
with such long hair.  I think those 4 kitties had Maine Coon Cats in their
heritage as evidenced by Leo's long hair and M on his forehead.  If you click
on the cat's name, the picture expands, btw.

That's good... and a lot of kitties and doggies to post information about, as
I saw there :)  Great site, btw :)

I usually just copy a similar entry to what I want to post, then change the
details. I'm not a big fan of wordpress, but I can see why you'd want to use
that method for a site that had so many updates.

:) :)

Yes, I know what you mean there.  I also checked out the dogs there ... My
second love Lol... Since Indy, our yellow lab mix, had surgery last year to
have a large cancerous tumor removed I worry about our two pups.  But once
removed, it didn't come back, the vet said if it did reappear he'd remove it
again.  So far, it's good.

Speaking about weirdness in looks in the same litter, did you take a look at
my two idiot dogs on my page, ?  They couldn't look more different ... and
again, from the same litter.

Here's the link:

Click on the dog's name for a larger picture.

Ron just said, "At least they TOLD us they were from the same litter"... Lol -
who knows really I guess :)

Take care,
Janis
