I'm trying to be patient and wait for a dog to show up, TWood. My problem is that I miss my last one so much and need a dog to cuddle. I am re-registered at the Humane Society for one but very few dogs come through there. And being this is Alaska, most of them that do come in are large.

Lots of cats thre. But I want to get a dog before I add a cat to the household. I lost my 17-year-old cat last March.

I do know where that dream came from; the other day I met a 6-month old Irish Wolfhound and his owner on the sidewalk and stopped to make their acquaintance. I swear his tail was as slim as a pencil and a yard long. :)
