I finally got around to taking some pictures of Mr. Puffy. Again, thank you all for your support and comments. Now here he is. http://lh5.google.com/image/douglas.fig/RfdCaHxtTwI/AAAAAAAAAA4/pqZW6soumvg/s800/_MG_5636.jpg http://lh4.google.com/image/douglas.fig/RfdC33xtTxI/AAAAAAAAABA/GeyftcbZZvI/s80...

Thank you all for your responses. Mr. Puffy seems to be doing quite well. He was the best looking in a tank of roughed up f8s and GSPs.

I have been looking for a figure 8 for the past two weeks in northern VA. There were two at Super Petz in Annandale, but they were sold an hour before I got there? Does anyone know of a place near me that might have a figure 8 for me? I am in Arlington, VA. Thanks.
