Been watching the thread !!Nice to see you and Mark have made up(NOT).I've been busy vacuuming the Shad.Unfortunately,caught his tail in the beater brush.Didn't know golden retrievers were that fast.Actually,he's laying here in the basement den,farthest from me,giving me a look that would kill.Just cut off all the matted hair around his ears,which he didn't mind.Oh well.Just looked over to him and he's laying there panting with his tongue hanging out about 3 inches.Hold on,gonna go get the tape measure and give you an exact measurement.Yep,3 inches,didn't know golden's had tongues that long !!Geez,now he's laying behind a table,in the far recesses of the den!! OH1!!OH!!,Debbie baby my wwife just showed up,and is asking me what I did to her dog !!Got to get out of here while I can still type.I' m gone
