Thank you! Abigail is my rescue girl, she was supposed to be a puppy-making machine; but came to herd cats at my house instead. I know what you mean about the AKC, it seems all the Aussies at shows now are these huge hair bears, not the nimble smart alecks I fell in love with back in the 80's.
And to keep it on subject, pill bugs and sow bugs are usually harmless, but in high populations they will chew on the stems of plants, especially soft stemmed plants.
