* Absolutely...!
Now, I'll have to go back and get all pics of Hopie to show his development. Yes, I've started my private album for him 
Post 4758 & 4760 is Hopie too, right?

* O' my, that is a big task.......
* This is Hopie near two years old!
* I think this was his third hatch day!
* I think this was Hopie about three and a half years old!
Well, I just spent a couple of hours going back and downloading all the pixs of Hopie, reading his progress again, finding out more about Tuff and CC. I went back only to page 290. I've got a whole lot more to do!
I have to say this Greg, the reason Hopie touched my heart is because I've always wanted to take care of the sick and premature. Going though the pics and seeing the extreme difference in Hopie's health progress reminds me of my first daughter on the day she was born. She was premature at birth, weighing at 3.5 pounds. Plus, she was not well and lost half a pound within the first week of life. We didn't think she was going to make it. But, she had a fight to live that was unreal. Today, she's as healthy as anyone, but, for the first month of her life, I couldn't hold her, feed her, or bond with her. I think that's why my heart goes out to sickly ones, especially animals. I have a rescue, Baby Runt, who weighed 1/4 lbs at the age of three years old! Today, she's healthier and weights over 10 lbs at the age of 4 years old! I enjoy seeing such ones progress; just like Hopie.
I want to thank you Greg for providing us with many, many pics to download and cherish.

What a sweet picture........................my heart just melted. I wish I have a piece of land or just a bigger back yard to rise on myself.

* Thank you. He sleeps so peacefully under the heat!
Thank you Greg! This saves me a lot of work, but I'm still gonna go back to the beginning. I enjoy reading others comments on Hopie and your other torts. Don't know why I didn't do this a year ago?!?
Now that you showed me your favorite pic of Hopie, I'm gonna show you my favorite so far.

Oh, man, I forgot all about Zuni. I take it you don't have her/him any more. Zuni was mentioned a lot back when you first had CC. Kinda a little walk down memory lane with Zuni and Hopie. I don't remember Tag. Need CC in that pic too

* Zuni now calls home Tallahassee, Florida. A young couple, both in veterinary medicine now have her.
* This is the last picture i have of Zuni!
Wow, Greg, I lived in Tally before I moved to my present location. I'm about 2 1/2 hours away from there. Zuni looks fantastic. That couple are so fortunate!!
