How much is that doggie in the window?
Everybody I know is having a baby THIS YEAR. Everyone. Even people I only know by second degree. I have gotten a puppy. Now, let's just make it real clear here that my biological clock is a quiet, digital one. I love everyone else's babies. And I know that that is not the right choice for me.
Look at my dog. She doesn't make a lot of noise, ever, and she came to us housebroken.
She does this every time we leave the house. She runs to the window, exhibiting this forlorn gaze as if to lay on a guilt trip. Look at that face. Works, huh?

I think she made that face when her Grandma left...she is a cutie patootie! I think she favors me!??!?!?!?! :):):) Hug her, ok? I would sooooooooo love to bring her to ND and watch her bound through the snow drifts if/when we get some!!
