tabbytom -- sorry that I couldn't figure out how to bring a picture and words at the same time! :) Intro to the boys is in a reply after the original pic.
I jumped right in on another forum due to health concerns with the "old man" Baxter (grey) but couldn't leave my handsome Jordy without introductions!
Glad to say that Baxter's pancreatitis is being managed well but so glad that there is the wealth of knowledge here on this site. I admit that I...
