I would guess you are seeing the spurs, if so that is normal. A picture might help.

The tongue... yeah nothing to worry about there.

ya i tried looking in the past threads... but the seach engine for this site didint seem to work very well for me..... thats why i just asked again, just about every question has been answerd over the years but its not always easy to find. and also all the picture from the older ones didnt want to load for me. SO if any one has some pics and doesnt mind repeating a post that might have been on here a few yeaaaars ago, that would be awesome.. thanks!!
