January 1 2007 My friend's "grandpuppy". This little fella is 7 weeks old. First thought is, that I would love one of my own. Second thought, this is $2,000 right out of the gate for the first year - pedigree dog, vet, shots, more vet, nuttered, etc. etc. Hmmmm that is $2,000 that would not be in my holiday account.

Auch...all youth is beautiful and all babies are precious to look at and hold. He fell asleep on my lap for a long time after ahhhhhhhh.

No puppy in this house - end of story. Hmmmm what about a rescue lab? A full grown dog who needs a new home. We were lucky with Dunny that way.
