@alive, @becsbuddy, @loribmt, and all...How precious. I'm jealous that you're getting your puppy, because I miss my Sophia, poodle, so much. But, I've decided my doggie days are over. That precious puppy would drive me nuts with activity and neediness...love and joy....but lots of needinesses. I have many days now I can't take a dog for a walk and no backyard or fenced yard. the fenced patio doesn't count. She also cost me a fortune in medical costs. My sweet stray kitty who adopted me is wonderful, snuggles, and loves me so much. In her kitty way. But, brings a lot to life...not the same as a dog, but another heartbeat is a good thing. Sheds like crazy. Poodles don't shed hair or dander. Could be the cat it major cause of my asthma stuff the last couple of months. It's keeping me from my walks and pool.
Enjoy, love that new one, Blessings. elizabeth
