Puppy Please???



Who can resist?

Soft round pink bellies, bad breath we forgive, playful pawing.


I was writing a article for a national magazine and needed some pictures of a garden. Having just put mine to bed for the winter I quickly called me closest friend.

"Sure, come on over" she said.

" I have to bring the boys I am carpooling."

'Great I have some new puppies in." My doggy friend is a weigh station for dogs in need. On any given day she has a dog visiting for a night or two. Today it would be two yellow labby puppies.


"I really want one." exclaimed Julius as he snuggled with the larger of the two puppies.

I will take care of it."


"No." I said firmly


"But why(the last word said long and drawn out)?" asked Chen, "Please?" he was cuddling with the smallest.


"No." Alex my son echoed


Its not that we don't like dogs, we do. We presently have 6 and adore each one, but its alot of work and puppies are even more.


So head down, shoulders fallen in misery they followed me out of the yard leaving the puppies playing hide and seek in the elephant ears.
