We have a nine week old cocker spaniel that is a real joy.....when she is asleep. Otherwise she is a perpetual motion machine! Sure a challenge for old folks. Whoever said puppies would keep you young didnt know what they were talking about. Right now she is curled up in my lap and appears to be an angel but after a little snooze it will be pandemonium. What a joy!

When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)
