electriclandso much still to catch up on, but I just wanted to say that between ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cretkid's new puppy (yay!) and seeing all kinds of family photos on the weekend, my puppy-need has intensified. My uncle scanned in a bunch of my grandfather's old slides, including some of puppy!Becky, the first Airedale in our family (she arrived when my mother was about 15). I'd say from the colouring and size that she'd be about 3 or 4 months old in the pictures -- most of her is still black, except on her face where it's giving way to tan, and her feet are huge. There were a few of her at an older age, too, when she was also pretty adorable, and one of Brandy, my Airedale, as a brand new (to us) 8-week-old puppy. (Also of Mickey, properly Mikado, the first family dog my mother remembers -- he was a Pekinese and came to a bad end, if memory serves, because he wouldn't back down from ANYTHING.)
I'm not sure what it says about me that children make me say "Oh, what a splendid baby you have there!" while puppies make me go "OMG SO CUTE AWWW! *snuggles!* *melt!*" Probably that I need a puppy more than I need a baby. It's fortunate that they're so much easier to come by, isn't it?

Once the house is done, can there be puppies?
