Hey Dogresq!! I'm glad you found the site!! Welcome aboard. You must tell everyone about your brood. They think we're crazy with our 10, you can join the bandwagon with your 8!! Thanks for the update on Hope. And also thank you for calling the other night so that I could post a little bit about her. We all hope a pray for a speedy recovery and I'm hoping for her that her heat period is brief...that has to be miserable. Definitely keep us posted.
