cassiesmom,

HA HA, don't worry about the petting, they get a LOT of that, and kisses, and hugs, and rubbums, and vigorous butt scratching, and on and on !
I just love big ears, and I "sorta" cheat a little with my guys. I have the Groomer let the hair grow out on them, and it makes them look a lot bigger than they really are. I do that to their Tails as well.
