Note of 05-01-08: Most of you know I have a back injury. It used to just flare up once or twice a year, but as I have gotten older, it has become a chronic problem. I have sought various treatments and want to avoid heavy medications and/or surgery. In an effort to diminish my pain, I am going to have to start limiting my sitting time. Therefore, until further notice, I will be doing Pet of the Month features until I am able to resume the Pet of the Week. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Note: February 25, 2008 until April 7, 2008, no Pet of the Week due to illness in the family.
