I don't, but my puppy does. Not for me, sm
but I think they look nice if not taken to extremes.  Just be sure the "artist" is legitimate.
Puppy update from below - sm

Thanks everyone for your advice and support.


I was a little surprise this morning when the neighbor guy knocked on my door.  I was expecting to be read the riot act or something but got just the opposite.


Turns out that the guy is the girls father but the woman who I assumed was her mother is actually the aunt (father's sister).  His wife died in a car accident 3 months before they moved here.  The girl was in the car with her mother and younger brother.  Dad was out of town on business and it took them almost two full days to find him because the girl was in shock and refused to speak for almost a month after.  Both her mother and her baby brother (3 years old) died in the accident.  The aunt is living there to help him with the daughter he said the girl has had severe psychological problems since the accident. 


He was very apologetic for going off the deep end yesterday and that he normally is a rational man.  I really felt bad for the guy.


He also told me that he appreciated us letting his daughter come over and play before but would understand if she was not welcome back.  Said that his daughter completely withdrew from her friends at her old school and she is still in grief counseling twice a week.  Playing with my kids was the first time since the accident that she had made any effort at socializing. 


I never would have suspected that she had been traumatized this way.  She was quiet and didn't say much about her family but gave no indication that this had happened. 


The guy was here long enough to basically pour out his life history and I truly felt sorry for him and even more for his daughter. 


I'm still going to be very watchful for now but there's room for a second chance after him having made the effort to clear the air and explain things.  I think I will just sit on this for a few days and then invite the three of them over for dinner in a few days and try to start over.


I may be a sucker I know.   I would rather have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and if we can do this, well, it would be better for everyone.


 


 


 


 


How was your puppy and your trip?
Been wondering.  Hope everything went well.
Problems with puppy

My dog Snoopy is scared of my father. We ahve had her for almost two years now and whenever my father comes into the room, she cowers and runs into my room. She stays in here all day long while my sister and I are at school, and my mother is at work. But the wierd thing is, that at night, she is his best friend. She doesn't show any signs of nervousness or anything. Any suggestions? Does she have some sort of a mental problem?


My gosh. You and puppy are VERY lucky.
Definitely keep that kid out of your yard now. Good luck!
So glad you had the video going or they would have taken your puppy. sm
Moral of the story:  Don't let your puppy play with kids unsupervised.   Look into puppy class/puppy kindergarten in your area.  Vet's office should be able to tell you where they are.  They are fantastic for socializing puppies with other dogs, kids, and adults.  Just completed class with my puppy.  Sad to think how many good pups have been put down due to behavior of naughty kids/adults too.  So happy this worked out for you and your kids.
I'm sorry, but why would you refer to ?'s about ones puppy or what's for dinner
Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think?
Only use Purina - my puppy loves it! nm

or by your conception, you could feed your son to your puppy.

Revising that puppy tonight!
That is what I thought that I might do, I just needed a nudge. Thank you!

I am determined not to give this career up! I just might have to give up the company I work for. (big loss since I haven't had any work and they are dodging my calls, e-mails, IM's, etc)

Thanks again for the pep talk and the feedback. I needed that. -M
Please keep the puppy away from that little girl. I don't like the sound of it. Good for you sm

with the camera.  Keep that video for a long time!  People's memories have a way of fading. 


Shelties are the sweetest, gentlest dogs, but their instinct is to nip feet in an attempt to herd.  Have fun with your new sweetie! 


Good luck, but if it was me, I'd keep the puppy away from the little girl sm
when she comes to dinner.
April, my 5-1/2 month old bichipoo puppy.

To Dog's Day Puppy MT - please read my post below! Creepy flowers.
I didn't want it to get buried in the old thread below, because I'm really worried about you.  It must have just been me, but when I read that you found the flowers on your steps, and from your own garden, it just gave me the creeps.  Don't know why, but it sure did.  She (someone?) been's sneaking around your yard, and though it looks like a good intention, I still find it unnerving.  PLEASE be careful! I'm not the paranoid type, but something just doesn't sit right with me about those flowers...
I'll be watching Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!
