About a year ago I received a very nice 12 month old who I had doubts about his ability to do well in the show ring.....well my doubts remained and this very nice male per the contract went back to his breeder-owner...my wife cried and cried, she really bonded with this dog, and by sheer coincidence his birthday was the same as my wife: April 12... this dog now looks really good and recently went reserve at his Maturity ( not the first mistake I've made and it won't be the last)...so a month or so ago another breeder friend of mine offered to place a puppy with me because I'm in love with the sire...this little guy has been with us for about two weeks...wife loves him, I get a call from the breeder last night about dog conversation and since I don't have Simba's papers yet I asked my friend the puppy's age and exact birth date....APRIL 12, 2008...my wife's birthday....when I told my wife she cried again ( Italians cry) only this time she said...if this puppy goes, she's going too!...God protects fools and children...so I've been covered my whole life....lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
