Great rant!
I love everything about puppies - their curiousity, their innocence, their eagerness, their trust in us and especially their wonderful puppy breath (I wish someone would bottle that smell).
Dang it, Cindy! You've set off puppy fever in me.
But you're so right. I'm always amazed at how unprepared - how unaccepting - so many people are about puppies. They aren't pet rocks. They do take time, work, discipline and love. Yeah...many should just stick with the pet rock.
