Do not tell God how big your storm is.

His tounge hanged out all the time as he had no teeth to hold it in. We had this little blessing for two and a half years. this little dog had a great spirit and he loved life. so maybe a little tonge is a good thing. lol arlene Teacher Bunny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Here's how his tongue sticks out when he's sleeping.
