    Congratulations!

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Yes, she's a puppy. She's a little larger than we'd anticipated. She's Jack Russell cross, but we're beginning to wonder what she was crossed with - her paws are worryingly large.

        I was only joking

          LOL! Sometimes even "Absolutely not! Not under any circumstances!" essentially means "yes", too.

              I've been saying 'absolutely not' for 2 years or so. Then I was shown a picture from a rescue place, and I wobbled very slightly. It was all over before I knew anything about it.

                Polar bear is my guess based on how much she's eating.

                  But then again his wife works as a therapist using animals for disabled children.

                  He basically lives in an animal shelter.

                    They look so sweet together! I think it's wonderful to have a pair, so they have a buddy for play time. Consider yourself blessed with canines!

                        Are they about to get dinner? They look pretty attentive. The only time my dogs are that well behaved is at feeding time.

                          I think that was me about to get dinner. I suspect they were hoping to join in.

                                Nearly a year later....one of them got bigger. The older one has almost come to terms with the situation (by 'older one' I mean the dog, not me).
