Oh Val, what a match made in Heaven for sure! You know I am not sure on the panting but Tommy pants really easily, especially after playing. He just always has. Tasha is not near the panter he has always been. Dasher has the most gentle and sweet eyes. I can certainly see how he stole your heart. I will be praying that he makes it through the treatment with flying colors. I really think Duke led you to this boy.
