So you get to dog sit for your brother once a year? That sounds like a lot of fun!
I miss my dogs. The boxer is Goliath and the black pup is Scruffy.
Goliath was stolen by a pipeline crew member and Scruffy was a stray that was dumped on us. When Goliath was stolen he left us. I have just not been ready to try again. I have had dogs all my life though. ~J
