You know somehow I knew you would take my comments in a light hearted fashion. Some people you have to worry how you word things as they might snap back when your intentions are pretty benign. There are a bunch of breeders out there, and folks that show their dogs, that view the dogs as objects. Clearly not the case here, and I knew that and I'm glad you recognized I was just ribbing you. You're a quality gent Mr Garvie.

Side note to Lisa. I'm very sorry about your loss. I know just how tough that is. I'm sure the new pup will bring many years of renewed companionship.

By the way, Mr Green obviously already knows how to use those eyes!
