Which is why I threw HIM into your arms - hehehehehe And that little black and tan girl is SSOoooo SWwwEEeeeett *snicker* Your grandson has it right - not 'No more dogs' but NO! MORE dogs :) Your ever loving daughter with 3 sable males to choose from HAHHAHAHA >>>>>>>>>>>>>> I shall now cuddle the cute puppies, smell their breath, remember the glories of the past and the dreams of yesteryear. Yes, I remember... I remember the recurring dream of standing at ringside at the nationals, of course I do not know what year it was to be, for it was but a dream. And I was talking to Bob Grady, who was in the ring, as he always is, in his white suit and dapper frame. And we were laughing about something, I do not remember what, when a stern and loud voice rang out from inside the ring, sounding so much like my daughter Alycia. When I turned to see what she wanted, she was red faced and shouting at me, âStop talking and do your job,â she yelled. âHe has won ever show he has been in and he is odds on favorite to be Grand Victor in a few minutes, we are in the front of the line, and you are socializing again. Heâs your dog too, now get in place and call him!â There on the end of the lead she was holding was the most gorgeous red sable dog I have ever seen. Oh well, so much for dreams. Occasionally when I have this dream, I still doubt my resolve, but this time I will not be deterred â NO MORE DOGS! FINAL! Yet, in Alyciaâs litter box of two week old puppies, is one big sable male whoâs dark coat already show signs of a lovely red cast, and... âNo! No, I will not hold himâ I say as the memories of the dream come flooding back. I will not have another dog.... well, maybe just one more! Cursed!
