Dennett, those pies … let me tell you, they’re a little piece of heaven here on earth. (Don’t tell anyone, but if when we can work out a meet-up, I’ll see if I bring one for you.)

So sorry to hear about Pooh. People who haven’t owned a dog (or cat, I suppose … I’m not a cat guy) have no idea of the joy they can bring to your life. I’ve found a pretty good breeder in Clearwater with beautiful Bichons and Havachons (Havanese and Bichon mix). When the time is right, I know where I’m going.

Greyhounds, nice. I remember reading that in one of your earlier posts. They sound perfect for you and your family. I’m a small, indoor, lap dog kinda guy. I’ve thought of getting a dog from a shelter, but they’re always the first to go. And I’ve also thought, if I’m going to get a dog and it’s going to be nuts, I want to be the one to make it nuts. That way I’ll know the crazy I’m dealing with.

We’ll see what happens when the time is right.
