Thanks everyone! Tommy's such a sweet cuddler. You can bet he got kisses and scritchies after I snapped his picture .

Chocolatepuppy your two always remind me of my two, I guess because of the short haired mutt and retriever combo . From things you've mentioned about Mandy, Tommy seems similar in personality.

Julie, I'm a bit better with the arm/wrist problems but it's still bothering me some. I've been working a lot trying to get caught up so that I can have some time off on the holidays . I do miss participating more here and hope to get back to posting more after the holidays if things keep improving . Thanks for your concern!
