Mimitabby--thanks for the welcome! I've been lurking here for a few years now and just love the camaraderie of this group. I doubt that I'll post much because most of my questions get asked when I search, and my reply to most things would be, "yeah, what SHE said!" I guess I should make my way over to the getting to know you thread. (And I need to get you a photo of my Eros Donna so I can join the Bianchistas!)

And yes, Zencentury, it IS dog tongue! That's my dog Fausto (Coppi). He's a 5# chihuahua and I believe his tongue is too big for his head. But the photo caught him mid-lick so it looks obscenely long.
