Gung Hay Fat Choy: Wishing you good fortune and happiness

Sydney's First Chinese New Year

Dash!

Keith and I have quietly grown quite attached to this little pup. He's a hairball full of fun and frustration. He's actually learning to heel quite nicely, loves to retrieve a ball to you, and already knows how to "sit" on command. Beside the major separation anxiety he displaces when either of us leave the house (or we can't be seen within eyesight), we think he's a keeper. We decided to name him Dash. If you ever come over, you'll see how excited he gets and will make circles in our yard around you. He even springs his jumps when he chases after the ball in the yard. We are quite fond of him.

Foster Parents

While pulling into our driveway, I noticed a white puppy wandering aimlessly across the street from our house. As the dog was crossing our neighbor's driveway, it nearly escaped being hit by a car which was backing out of their driveway. I got out of my car and called him to me (with the baby, puppy voice of course) and he ran over to me. I noticed that it didn't have any ID tags. I coaxed it to come into our backyard.. and pondered over how to break the news to my husband...
We posted signs within a 1/2 mile radius from the house and have not heard anything from anyone. I even posted flyers in people's mailboxes. Not even a crank call from anyone thinking I was some psycho opening mailboxes and stuffing it with a flyer. Not a peep.
With a past week of silence (the dog, on the other hand is NOT silent at ALL)I am contempleting that the puppy could be ours. We haven't actually accepted the harsh reality of all the respondsibilities that comes with dog ownership. Definelty NOT a piece of cake. Especially if we want to have a happy, well-behaved dog. We both feel fondly of the puppy, he's adorable is so many ways. We both knew that we would eventually get a dog, but not this soon! We're a bit unprepared. But at the same token, isn't that what life is about?? Unplanned, unanticipated, surprising and unpredictable?
