I grew up with dogs, cats, parakeets, goldfish, ducks, and once even, a baby alligator (back in the 50's, before it got too big and we gave it to a local zoo). Now it's just 2 cats. Pets do seem to help with a person's mood, don't they?
Whoa, what a gorgeous dog! I used to have Briards, very similar. He looks so cuddley, Robert's right, he almost looked like a stuffed animal! And you look so happy, how cool. Good day to be sober, isn't it? hugs, Wren (who edited her own self for innappropriate comments before Phil and Toni had to, LOL.)
