Kathy – He does have a kind face! Exactly what I was looking for in a dog, that and a willingness to approach people to be petted! I’m hoping he’ll be my new therapy dog!

They do leave a huge hole, don’t they? This time our loss was harder to bear since we had no dogs left at all.

Thanks for dropping by to read my rants!

George says woof and asks if Sid has discovered the delights of rubbish bags yet? If not, George would be happy, nay delighted, to come and help him rummage through a few.

Maggie May – Thanks! We are indeed both lucky! I’m so glad he took a fancy to me.

Sandi – Thank you!

Sid sells himself very well. I can’t imagine what the lady who first adopted him was thinking! Perhaps she was just more of a border collie person … they are just so easy to train that a hound would have been quite challenging by comparison.

Denise – You can be sure that Sid will get plenty of love! He demands it as his right! LOL!

Dogs do really well on three legs, don’t they? A leading canine cancer specialist says that they’re born with three legs and a spare!

Introspection – Thank you so much! I think owning a dog is so much a partnership that they help to choose themselves, and also, they give as much as you give them.

Jeni – Thanks, Jeni – I think you’re right. He has sooo much Renie in him, you’ll be stunned. And of course, he’s like Jack in other ways, even the way he lies down sometimes. Then again, he has traits of his own, like, I’ll find him sitting bolt upright in his bed! So funny!

Celine – Thanks, Celine! I’ll tell him .. but he’ll be getting a big head, soon!

Hilary – Thank you! Of course, we think he’s wonderful!

Taffy’s Mum – Aw … thank you, Taffy and William! I’ll pass those right along to Sid! LOL!
