thanks sooo much for all of the nice comments! It's Christine's birthday today, and I'm bringing Gonzo & Fozzie over to her house so all of the dogs can play (they have a huge backyard for them to play in), so I will tell her all of you love her Pandy. I'm still working on convincing her to join this forum, she really likes it.

I forgot to add the story of how Christine got Panda. Her wonderful Aussie boy Chase died on new year's day (see memorial thread here...), he was one of my boys' best buddies, they all got along like they lived together and saw each other pretty much every day. Chase was such an awesome dog, no other dog could replace him ever. But Panda is such a sweetie and he has really cheered Christine & her family up! I tried my hardest to persuade them into getting a Corgi puppy, but they've obviously been bitten by the Aussie bug!
