YES, MY ANNIE HAS AN APPETITE TOO AND I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE SLEEPING THING, SINCE THEY SLEEP 16 HOURS A DAY AND I AM GONE 6 HOURS MON THROUGH FRIDAY.  WHEN I GET HOME EVERYONE WANTS TO SLEEP ON MY LAP AND THERE IS A PERIOD OF ARGUMENT TO DETERMINE THE PECKING ORDER.  OTHER THAN THIS, ANNIE SEEMS QUITE NORMAL AND HEALTHY, JUST THE RUNNY EYES, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME, JUST OFF AND ON.
