Do you know Villette? I was so impressed by Channel smiling that I tried and tried to get Autumn to smile. Finally I pulled her lip up and told her to smile, to show me her teeth. It took a few times but everytime she did it even a little bit it made me shriek with laughter and she got the hang of it real quick. She has puppies that do it too and I didn't have to teach them. One of her sons is very, very dark and when he smiles, he smiles big and his teeth just shine in all that dark hair. Most people don't like him cause his markings make him look scary but if they could see him smile in person they would fall in love with him. LOL Sylvia
