Things are worse than that. A puppy! A soulful puppy.

For years he refused, and he had the excuse that our backyard wasn't enclosed. Once we moved to a house with a fenced-in yard, he lost the battle.<br /> <br />Almost thirteen years later, guess who spoils the dog the most? ;)<br /> <br />Of course, ours is half Lab, half Husky - I'm not aware of any silly name for such a cross - and is just a big puddle of love. I've never experienced owning a smaller dog.<br /><br />Good luck, m'dear.R.C.
