LIFEGROWER: Be happy. Grow stuff. 
not at all profound (the comment that is) but he/she is adorable and I need a dog!
I thought it was profound, having a dog say it.
Alas, Odie died recently. Not much left to play in that girl. (Thanks for writing.)
My dogs smell pretty bad, are frequently muddy, leave large piles of hair in every conceivable corner, and have coated every square inch of furniture with dogginess. I would not trade a one of them for a million bucks. Hope you find a new puppy pal soon!
