How True!

But boy do we try, right?

Elliott

So this is Elliott. The dog I didn't want. My wife was insistent that we needed a dog, my daughter and I did not really share her enthusiasm. I had said when Sara was 2 that we could get a dog when she was six, hoping that it would be forgotten by then, no such luck. After birthday number six came and went the search began...I said that I did not want a black dog and I did not want a male dog, ya know, kind of eliminate a lot of the possibilities. Well I lost on all accounts, we got a dog, it is male and he is black. I don't think he ever realized that I didn't really want him. Now that he has been here for about 16 months I couldn't imagine life without him, although I bet it would be peaceful! So here is a picture of my ever present companion doing what he does best, commanding attention!

So...if someone you love decides that YOU need a dog, give it a shot. You may end up with another great friend.

Until then...
