Thank you, I hope Crystal ages the same way. I believe our 'in law cousins', have actually stayed within character. That is; probably the mother was always the quieter, less bustling type that her daughter has turned out to be. Mum's a cute 8lbs and her child weighs in at 15!
Both are utterly adorable and very loving in their different ways.
We just met a rather withdrawn little boy in a walker along the beach parade here. He was very shy at first, then to the amazement of his elderly owners, lunged across into my arms. Crystal hopped from one front paw to the next, 'pogo sticking' and getting very irate. However they became good pals after a while and there was much tail wagging and a few reverse snorts. Our new friend is 8 and has arthritis in his hips, but was absolutely endearing. The lady with him said his mood and rythym's are influenced very much by whom he's with.
Another time, but Crystal seems to recognize her own very clearly...
