Ditto for your avatar - papillons are nice
I definitely have a soft spot for dogs. Aspen has been gone for many years. After Aspen, I somehow ended up with four dogs at once. They all were close in age, lived very long and happy lives, but they are all gone now too. My future sister-in-law spends the work week close to the city and comes out to Lucketts every Friday evening - Monday morning, but her dog Riley lives here full time. I also have been enjoying dog sitting often for friends and family, so even though I don't have my own right now, I still get to enjoy dog companionship. I plan to hold off on getting another puppy until I retire in a few years, but you never know if fate might bring another one into my life before then.
