What an awesome family. Let the realtor fume.

That is one adorable dog.

Congratulations! That was the sweetest story - I got all teary (why is it that anything dog-related can make me teary?) I’m sure you’re both going to be very happy.

What a beautiful story! Congrats on your new puppy (and A+ hubby!)

She looks like a Delilah to me, to keep with the Biblical Temptresses.

She’s absolutely beautiful. Scruffle her face and give her a kiss on the nose from me, wouldja? 🙂  
I think Biscuit is a great name. Delilah is cute, too, but… Biscuit! What a fun name to holler.

Also, eff the realtor!

That ridgeback is gorgeous. What an amazing coat. Really shiny coat.

[/QUOTE]

I believe the shiny coat is due to the vast quantity of peanut-butter-stuffed Kongs. Poor deprived puppy. 😃

TroubleAgain: You gotta explain Plexi. An invisible airedale needs explanation. And I loved the cushion or cat pic. 🙂 Great pets!  
[/QUOTE]

Thank you! Well…Plexi. You know **LordJim**? His Keeshond Kissy had a phantom pregnancy a year or two ago. She made her nest and had her “puppies” and cared for them for a couple of weeks. So I asked **LordJim** to email me one of the puppies, 'cause I figured an invisible puppy would be hardly any trouble at all. If she blows coat like Kissy does, twice a year, then the fur would still be invisible, right? So I posted a picture of Plexi for him recently. 😉
