Understand... I didn't have that happen with my two current pups (they are the
ones in the photos on my blog) but it did happen way back when we had a German
Shepard... The shepard was beautiful girl, Rhima... just a pup, maybe a year
old and she didn't realize her strength I guess

Heh.. since I use my desktop for everything here pretty much I don't often
think about 'phones' displaying pages - I should though.  Then again it's been
quite a long time since I worked on web pages.

That would seem to take care of a lot of the work involved

Finally found Tucker, great looking dog.  You may have noticed in one of the
pictures of Sophie and Indy, that there was a huge black blog of fur to the
right of the puppies.. That "blob" was the side of my Black Lab Toby..   We
had him for about 10 years.  When we purchased him, we lived in KY, and again
we decided to get he and his sister, Priscilla.. they were great dogs, so
loving and comical

Oh yeah, and even today those same silly grins great us each morning 

Take care,
