We always had "stupid" but "loving" doggies while growing up (little
mix-breeds of cockapoos & such. They would never hurt a soul.

I miss having a doggie, but right now life is too busy. Maybe when the
boy-child gets old enough to help, we will get him his own "first
doggie". Has to be a lap-dog though. :-)
