I have been following your twitter updates about the dog. I do so hope you find the right one. My middle daughter is the animal lover and she about makes us nuts with her knowledge and zeal for creatures of all kinds. We have two dogs and two cats, one dog being a recent addition to help her through some issues. I have written a blog post as well about our eldest dog, Chewy, whom we "inherited." Its funny how I never wanted a dog but just love Chewy in our lives. http://hollyhousestudio.blogspot.com/2009/03/ode-to-chewy.html
