Hi all. June 25, and I am still missing my Ollie dog. Thinking of getting one, thinking of the work involved, and not being at all sensible about it. It gets COLD here in winter, and here I am thinking of getting another dog, who has to go OUT at night. Am I nuts?

And the vet bills, And the barking... And the pet sitter needs.... because dogs are nearly people.

Oh dear.
