Grrrreat news! Speaking of IFA, I just came back from the vet and had my two boyz (Eliot Spitty and Mr. Tux) retested...I am keeping my fingers crossed. Both are in super health, I am especially happy that their gums and teeth are in great shape! Mr. Tux is a bit overweight, but you'd never know just looking at him - he's pear-shaped - 15 lbs. He has to go on a diet!

What a great story and such a wonderful family with great teenagers. I bet Eleanor will have a fabulous life. I hope she will be IFA negative. That would be a blessing.
