@AJs:
It's just AJ and I. He's great. Only time I've had a problem with him waking me up was when he was sick with the runs for three days. He would whine to wake me up and go outside.
Been there, done that. Gotta love those 3 a.m. wake-up calls, especially when its freezing outside.:)
Rita Jean, Thanks you so much for all your help with the pictures and with resting my thoughts on were Otis came from. I thought from the beginning that Mark had his head on straight, but you never know, hearing you describe their environment make me feel as if I had the right thougt. I will try to get the picture thing worked out so you can see our beautiful Otis.
