I'm cured

I've been pestering Alan for a new puppy. He very emphatically says "no!" Then we puppysat, and are puppysitting again, my friend Windy's dog. She is really cute but I forgot how much work puppies are. They must be watched almost constantly and given appropriate things to chew. But she is really fun. She chases her tail and spooks at everything, bounding into the air and flipping around. She and Potter play well and the girls love her. Today we are going to work on training her to come, sit, and alert when she needs to go outside. This has totally cured me of wanting a puppy. I will gladly tend Shnoake until Windy is well and then happily give her back.
