I just got a response e-mail from Nikon... they said "if its new, then take it back to the store where purchased and they should replace it. If not, then ship it here for repairs." It was bought in September and the receipt says they won't exchange after 14 days... does that mean they won't handle warrenty issues? I will DIE if I have to ship it out and wait for its return.

I had no idea that everyone loved my big guy so much! He really is a sweetie-pie and is so gentle. And he also has as much personality as the crazy Pouncer! I will definately have to post more about my big guy!
