  Wonderful all the way around, Donna! Piranha is a cutie-patootie, and that hat ~ too much! It's a toss-up which is funnier: the arrangement of the hat, or her expression!

  Ah...very fitting then! I'll have to tell my dad. He get a chuckle out of it! We once had a dog named 'Tootie'. It was short for her registered name 'Dayspring's Rude Attitude', but she lived up to her name in more ways than one! ;)
