From Bruce:
Take a break, then get a beautiful new puppy!
After the last two dogs I said no more & it took a year in-between each. This time Keith agrees. I still haven't gotten another cat so we shall see.
I am ready to be dogless for the first time in my life after Beegee and Blanche depart. Betsy is threatening divorce. (That's nothing new). 
I remember when Solo passed and my Mom said "No MORE dogs!" Wisely, I agreed with her but hid my smile because I knew better. Sure enough about 2 months later Mom was heard to say "I wish we had a dog." I ignored her. "I wish I had a dog to keep me company durning the day when your at work". "No more dogs, you said", I told her. Then it was, "Let's go to the pound and pick out a dog". "Just a little one about a year old so we will know how big it will be." I said "alright".
Well, the pound was closed the day she wanted to go. We had to go to Walmart. As I was backing the car out of the parking space, I saw a kid bend over a box and put **something** in the box. I told Mom there are either kittens or puppies up there. She asked me to park the car so we could go look. I warned her, if it was puppies and we looked, we would take and she wanted a dog that was at least a year old so we would know how big it was. Mom said, "Oh, we just look." I said "OK" but I knew better.
Sure enough they were puppies and to make a long story short, that how we got Bear. A five pound puppy that grew into the Great Dane, Lab, Shepard, PONY mix that we both grew to love so much.
If something happens to Sheena and Toby there will be no more dogs. Well...............maybe just a "little" one.
