thanks i'm glad buddys not the only one with blueish skin. Can't help with the bow in hair though, my husband has refused to take Buddy out if he has a bow in his hair! lol he wanted a more 'macho' dog but Buddy was my birthday prezzie so i got to choose, he tells everyone that he would never ever have got a yorkie.... then spends every chance he can get cuddling, kissing and generally fussing over 'my' buddy lol yep they sure melt everybody hearts!
