* It’s been a very long, difficult week and it ain’t over yet, but let’s lighten it up a little.

“And they called it — puppy love….”

===what tricks has OTP learned so far in puppy class?===

They mainly teach us how to teach the puppies. I’m having varying degrees of success, mainly because of session.

That was awesome!

My Fridays are not complete without…

Oscar, and…

“…someone to Play Capitol Fax Out.”

Wow–that was a real UPPER–the gleeful, little break from the many woes of this day was VERY welcome. God bless that little guy for that occasional, little slice of joy he can provide for readers and commenters (as well as his “Master”)! Here’s hoping you both (+ Family, too) enjoy a swell Weekend down home!!!
