I love having dogs around me. I'll end up willing a dog or dogs to the kids. the worse part is dealing with the end of the road for them. I hate doing the last visit to the vet. I've had two dogs pass at home in their sleep one age and one a medical problem that was misdiagnosed, and we've had to do the last visit 3 times...that drive is a bitch let me tell ya.
Yes, that is a lovely pup and like the other fella said put time in and you will get benefits back that you never thought possible.
