Your collie may be old and have her flaws but she is still one gorgeous dog.. and i am sorry to hear her health is failing.. the chow chow is a cutie..thought about getting one but i am tired of long hair now.. had so many with the fluff.. alot of work grooming as it is with the horses.. I just bought my first bichir 2 months ago so i am not familiar with the poly species.. trying to learn but find it confusing..so many different names..etc. but will catch on.. anyway the goby is so neat.. thanks for your reply and enjoy those guys!mudskipper;653231; said:Thanx. theshow chow. is tiny compared to the old chow chow we used to have. the collie (carmen, is thirteen, toothless and bald on her back end. she is OLD. we didn't think she'd make it to Christmas. and that is no bicher, it is a 9" dragon goby. not as interesting. they just look awsome. other then that they are stones, and i forgot the calico cat and the white one are brother and sister. The calico one is very stupid, but the white one (Simon) is my favorate of the 3. The mutt cat is old, adopted, declwed in the front, and always begs for food.
