I took Ross to the orthodontist this morning and the assistant there has a Sheltie (like our dog, Barley). She had a picture of her dog with a Sheltie puppy who was sooooo cute. We ooh-ed and ahh-ed long and hard at how adorable it was. And I kept saying, 'I want a sheltie puppy, too.'
My hubby keeps saying he is just not ready for another dog, but maybe by the beginning of the summer, his resistance will have melted? Huh, John, huh?
Anyway, Ross and I agreed that early summer would be perfect, because then he would be home and able to help walk and train it. Maybe the word of impending puppy-ownership would convince Bonnie that she would like to spend her summer at home, instead of at Colgate (which she is talking about). I mean, who can resist a puppy?
My wife Joan and I love dogs too(Springer Spaniel) Hope your daughter loves Colgate as much as mine did. She did not want to come home either in summer.

We had two litters of puppies, and that was the best--I got to love them up during their cutest stage and then send them off to new homes for potty training.

Oh! They are adorable!! I remember when I was about 11 or 12 our collie had fourteen -- FOURTEEN puppies-- and they looked so much like those baby shelties! When they were old enough to be separated from their mother, we gave them away at our local shopping mall. They were all gone in less than ten minutes. Oh. It breaks my heart to think how broken-hearted our mama-collie was. We ALL were broken-hearted. Hope you get one soon!
:O)

Puppies are dangerous. Puppies are an evil plot.
If only the above were true, then maybe I'd find a good reason to resist their charms. ;)
