Dec. 16th, 2003 02:37 pmSo I'm thinking that January shall mark the start of Operation My Parents Need To Get Another Dog. My mother's retiring next year and they should start looking for a puppy right away so they'll be ready. Because we wouldn't want my mother to get bored.
I reckon I'll start with this.

The dog was SOOO happy to have a purpose that she had none of that nervous energy I have seen in other collies. They really are bred to work.
And, now, I shall take my own advice and to bed shall I go!

Something that would sleep for 10 hours and then take a nap to recover from so much hard work at least on the days when we didn't have time for 3 walks a day. Every time I looked at our dog I was reminded of the first one.
Oh and BTW, this comment is almost without purpose was just showing my rebellious and stubborn streak :P So don't feel you have to reply :)
