Hey MrMontana welcome to you and your wife and grey, Andi! I am a fan of TAGs as my Ana Grey is a petite little jewel that I love to death! I too am from Washington State, small town by the Columbia River the otherside of Oregon State. $1,400 is a little spendy, really a lot spendy in this economy so I would try a little "talking down" of price if you can. But the heart wants what the hearts wants so if Mrs.Montana has fallen for this grey and you believe he/she will fit into your family, I say Valentine's Day is coming up!!!! Welcome to the Grey family!!!
