    My new friend

    I mentioned that when I retired and bought some land I was going to get a dog. All the hours I worked and multiple jobs made it impossible to have a dog and most of the time was in apartments. I have not had a dog since high school.
    Tippy is 7 1/2 and a Corgi Australia Shepherd mix. He is way to smart and has figured out the routine in the tractor. It cost me a $300.00 non refundable deposit but it is worth it. The photos on the phone are too big.

    He is fine looking fellow. He can keep you out of trouble.

    My mother was a dog bite victim complete with the original rabies shot routine and harbored ill thoughts about dogs, therefore never letting me have one in her house growing up. I have never been without one since I got on my own. Incidentally, my mixed breed dogs have always been my favorites.

    Sound like a good choice. Do wonder if Paul's got to sleep sideways since Tippi figured out how to get the most space on the bed?

    Enjoy!

    My wife and I both miss the dogs---but not the mess

    We had Golden Retrievers and they were like walking litter generators. To add to the problem---I have developed allergies which I never had when younger. Pets can make me miserable in no time.

    Thanks everyone. It's funny how fast he has learned me, I have to make him move to get into bed. As soon as I set down in the recliner he is in my lap and ready for my to scratch him until he goes to sleep.
