Over the past several days, I have met a couple of people who were showing off their brand new puppies, so I just had to share.
In the top photo is Bear, a 3.5 month old all black German Shepherd puppy who lives with Patrolman Frank Rinalli of the Canton PD.
And the little cutie in the bottom photo is Duke, a 12-week old Boxer who lives around the corner from me.
Remember: the reason God makes puppies so cute is because they are so annoying in every other way! I read a statistic the other day that one of the top reasons people give when surrendering a pet at the shelter is that the dog wasn’t what the family expected. Before you bring a puppy into your home, make sure you’re up to caring for him or her for the next 12 – 15 years, including cleaning up the messes a new puppy will make in your home and training the dog for obedience.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Good for you Onnalee! Older dogs rarely get adopted from shelters – nice to see you’ve found a good match!
Which is why I asked the ASPCA for an older dog. Done the puppy tour several times over with Samoyeds and, later, English setters which we trained to the field. At 75 and with two genuine, simulated artificial knees, I can’t move like I useta–my riding and skiing days were over two decades ago. My 12 year old Beagle, Brittany, seems to accept that.
