You tell me...

What is it about a 14 year old granddaughter that can make you smile so much? My Marissa was here for her wednesday visit after school. She thinks I need a pet, as in Dog or cat. [ silly girl] She proceeded to go to the internet looking at dog breeds. When we checked prices, they ranged from 700 to over a thousand per dog...Pure breds of course. I must admit some were my favorites and the pups were adorable but NOOOOOOOO! I dont want a pet. That means vet bills, training to pee outdoors and not on my carpets. That means investing my heart only to have them perish, or run off with the neighbors mutt, never to be heard from again. Then theres the crawling up into your lap while your trying to watch your favorite show, and trying hard to distract you by licks and kisses all over your face. The baths that get you more wet then them, and the long walks you have to take with them, that makes you lose 10 pounds. The coming home to tail wags and such excitement to see you. How could anyone in their sound mind want something like this day after day...? Well........maybe I should think on it a bit more....maybe.....Late Ta....
