Well thanks for everyone's concern for Mr. Robbie...he has a chin that's just skin there is no bone at all and he has no teeth...so he has to eat only soft food...and he does really well...I guess that's how he has made it for 11 years so far...but when I am home in the evening I hand feed him, it gives us time to bond and it's alot easier for him than him scooping the food up with his tongue...I will be posting a pic of him so everyone can see what he looks like I know everyone is curious, naturally...If anyone gets the chance to take a look at a web site called Mr. Winkle.com...he also has his tongue hanging out but I don't know the reason for his defect....he was found by a lady on the side of the road...check it out and let me know what you make of it...thanks again everyone...keep me posted, I will too!
