MY Fern, and my Brighteyes (RB) did that. They were petite, but some how filled in, with time. Not big like the boys though!!
Cookie sounds like a sweet heart.
Actually, now that I think of it, Fern tends to cry when she wants me to pet her. She does not do it all the time, just about twice a day, but I always know that she is ready for her "pets" when she "squeaks"
