Hi Janis,

 JK> leaves the gate open as happened today Lol

You have a regular 3 ring circus there at times. (G)  But, it sounds
like a fun one.

Provided you have a big enough towel to begin with.

 JK> That must be so sad to think of.  I had friends who's job took them to

 JK> they have to do it.

Sam came to us when his original owners were sent to Scotland.  They'd
gotten him as a young puppy from her mom, who bred cocker spaniels.  He
was AKC registered originally but we never transferred the paperwork to
our name.  He didn't have much in the line of "smarts" but loved little
kids and was very gentle with them.  He could take a piece of popcorn
from one and barely touch the kid's hand.


 JK> > Sometimes it's better to bite your tongue and just say "thanks, but
 JK> no > thanks; we've changed our mind."

 JK> I think so, especially in this case.  It was surprising also that the
 JK> girl let it slip that this dog was an abused dog.. their page never
 JK> mentioned that :(

OOPS, we didn't mean to say it.  Yeah, right!

>> Close at least :)  They were 8weeks old on 3/27/2010.

 JK> > So, late January--early puppies.

 JK> Yep (g)..

As long as they're healthy......................

>> think I'd skip stuffing it with dogfood :)

 JK> > Yes, but the dog probably enjoyed it. (G)

 JK> It looked like it on the TV :) :)

Probably made a mess of things.


 JK> ===Clam Sauce and Linguine===
 JK> Serves 4


Looks good.  I'd best get some lunch; that's making me hungry. (G)
