BB will be busy transplanting these for minutes to come once he discovers more "mudcat poetry" over here. sIx dropped in after he (she?) started a copycat thread--seems it would have been easier to lurk and work his way in slowly. MOM would let him in.

Hey--I was driving home tonight and near the house stopped to say hello to a fellow out waking a beautiful brindled pit bull male--and realized he was the man who was driving the other day and asked about papers or breeding my dog Cinnamon! All became clear! He walks his dog, he loves his beautiful sweet-tempered pooch, he's not a breeder or anything shady, and he saw my beautiful sweet tempered dog and had an "ah ha!" moment. What a compliment! Still I wouldn't have been interested in puppies, but it is nice to know what that look of disappointment was about when we spoke the other day on the bridge. It wasn't disapproval at taking any pitbull out of genetic circulation, but a touch of sadness at taking a particularly nice dog out of the puppy possibilities. I can understand that, and felt a twinge of remorse that my sweet dog wouldn't have more sweet puppies like herself for others to enjoy.

Now back to Rapaire's regular ball bashing, poetical swilling and general mayhem with sharp objects.
