        Ha ha ha! Lucky me! ???? Alison can brag too!

        Jamie is the easy one, her eyes are amazing, and she has that little glitch in the corner of her lower eye that is also a giveaway. And Burrito’s eye is shaped in a unique way too, as if he has a “war injury” that forms the shape of his eyelid and the inside corner of his eye. This would have been much easier with their eye brows in the photos. ????

        I’ll be honest, that was fun! A challenge! No matter who the eyes belong to, they are each unique and beautiful to study. Fascinating to look at their pupils, folds in their skin, pockets/bags under their eyes, textures, lashes. It amazes me that I think of Negra as being old and yet her facial skin is taught (wish mine looked so good!).

        I have to ask, how do they get their eyes to go sooooo far to the side like Missy in the last photo?! Do their eyes move differently than humans? In that photo it looks almost like a lizard eye.
