We went to my NEW boss' house on Sun night for a little party and met my boss' new dog - a 5 lb Chihuahua! The dog is very cute, but what was even cuter was my boss, a world-reknowned scientist, wandering through the party with the chihuahua parked on his shoulder. Then he told us a funny story: he never wanted the chihuahua, and his daughter and wife sort of bought him without permission. The boss then proceeded to totally fall in love with the chihuahua (he's scratching the dog's stomach as he's telling this story) and now it appears the boss and the dog have a very tight relationship.I'm working the Studly Hubby for a dog to join our family. The chihuahua scene helped my case - usually any cute dog will win my Studly Hubby's heart pretty fast and this one was no exception. I'm not sure if we're chihuahua people, but really, a chihuahua dog is better than no dog at all. I'll keep working him and let you know how it turns out.

Dogs and churches...holy cow! Changes are a comin' in the world of J-funk!
See about a rescue dog - It's good as you skate right past the puppy stage where they piddle and chew everything. Pick a breed that would suit your lifestyle and talk to the breed's rescue association. Every pure breed there is has a rescue arrangement for thm.
Dogs are lovable. But what do you do when you're both at work all day? Talk to your aunt M about that.
That dog beach reminds me of a children's book called "Martha Calling" by Susan Meddaugh (but you should read her earlier book, "Martha Speaks", first). Hilarious!
Maybe you should just go out and get him a dog, it sounds to me like he wants one really.
Saz- I AM crafty! The dog park worked well in my favor.
Uncle KT - I moved to SEATTLE!! That was the big change, everything else is just a side note.
Peggy and Uncle Bruce (hi Bruce!) - We are definitely thinking 'rescue dog', 'no puppies' and 'calm' so they don't mind if we're gone all day. I've never read "martha calling" because I haven't got any kids but if we get a dog maybe I'll read it to the dog.
UK Bob - you have incredible insight!
