Hi Barbie;
Yes it has been difficult with all the recent deaths, also I am crazy busy. Our neighbour came over to visit us with a small 2 year old dog she was dog sitting, and it was so sweet and sat in Tim's lap. Because I have soooo little responsibility I decided we could handle a puppy. I have really been missing my Golden that passed 1 ½ years ago, but knew that we could not handle a big dog and the walks it would need. We ended up getting a Havanese and he is so sweet, and smart. He is all black with a white chest, and two white hind feet. Have been having fun housetraining him and he is my shadow. He does sit on Tim's lap but likes to be able to see me. I have been pretty run down lately, and have had my sister or a friend sit with Tim while I run errands, but they are not comfortable spending too much time with him. My son would do it but has been working 2 jobs at 60 hours a week or more, so am reluctant to ask him.
