Can't wait for the show this weekend!!! Oh! And fat pocket questions...

ChuUtena Mar 24, 2004 09:54 PM

I'm so excited for the All Ohio show this weekend!!! I want to get a crested and I hope to get at least a new leo!! But another reason for the post! I noticed that my Gimpy has developed a fat pocket on one side of her body under her front arm. But can anyone think of why she would get fat pockets before she fattened up her tail? Her tail is fat, but not very fat. It's just kind of an odd observation, just wondered if anyone could think of a reason for her tail not be fattened up before she got those pockets. Thanks!

I've been to one other one, but didn't come home with anything Where do you live? I assume you live in Ohio (although I guess Mark and Kim Bell from Florida were there last month and I didn't go ) But where do you live? Okay that was the point of this post!
