We don't have a dog now because of the hurt that always accompanies their demise. Thanks for your reply. HI Jean, I have a few other dog stories, but will get to them later.

I love the story of you and Shannon's 'puppy.' Bill's son, Billy and his wife, raise Bull Mastiff/Rottweiler mix 'puppies.' Although the 'host puppies', Boris and Natasha have gone on to the big doggie bone banquet in heaven, their heirs and heiresses live on. Some of their litters are of course now, host puppies themselves. Some of their litters have gone to cancer patients and into nursing homes to minister that way. Miss seeing y'all and take care, Ann Hi Janet, Life has gotten in the way of my reply to you!

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,
