OK, I'm giving myself some kudos here. While I didn't trust myself to have human children (due to my awful upbringing), at 50 years of age, I decided that I could be trusted to become a pet parent... moreover, to a puppy for whom I had longed for decades.

That was a natural assumption, based on the length and temperature of our walk that day. However, the same thing happened just a couple days later when he had walked for only 10 minutes in cool weather. In a nutshell, he was … [Read more...]
