But when Shannon brought home a puppy, I found it hard to resist her wriggly enthusiasm for my company. The fact that she is a pit bull terrier and will eventually reach somewhere close to 70 pounds mattered narry a bit when those big brown teddy bear eyes looked at me, obviously pondering whether to lick my face or my feet. Through a chain of events, this wonderful puppy left our lives for a short time and was replaced by an equally enthusiastic and possibly more wriggly male puppy of the same breed. His eyes are even harder to resist and he actually smiles when he gets our attention. More events ... more links in the chain ... we now have both puppies at our home. Yes, they sleep in the house at night. One is almost 60 pounds and the other is about 40. We have done the responsible pet owner thing and they will never know the joys and agonies of parenthood. They provide us much love and affection. And ample licks of both face and feet! The best thing is - unlike with my other children - a simple squirt from the water bottle will stop any sibling squabble that may arise over a bone or toy! Ann,
