WOW! Parnone...thanks so much for taking the time to answer my querie! I'm going to take everything you mentioned into consideration (especially about other pets, since I have a persian cat!) and keep your comments in mind as I mull over my decision. They are truly an adorable breed and I can just picture one of those cuties living in my home. BTW....your babies are absolutely scrumptious! Thanks for the pics! Wish me luck, I have a feeling I'll need it!!
