"Priceless"

Pup: Free.



Puppy food: $15.00.



Food and water bowls: $8.50.





Puppy training pads: $15.00.



Collar, leash and dog toy (for the inevitable chewing that's ahead!): $18.00.



Dog bed (arranged nicely by Younger Son): $15.50.



A new "member of the family" that all four of us love immediately: PRICELESS!



The story: We went out to eat dinner today at a truck stop about 30 minutes west of here. When we went in, we noticed a pen of pups outside the other entrance door. So ... we ate, nosed around the gift shop, didn't think anything about pups. Until we went out that particular door. Where they had started with seven pups, now there was ONE. A little black furry bundle, hunkered back in a box, and he maybe whined a little. AWWW! WE COULD NOT GO OFF AND LEAVE HIM. So, we brought him home with us! Along with the stop at Tractor Supply for some supplies, as noted above. Plus there'll be a vet visit and dog license in the future. But he's just TOO CUTE, and I think this is perhaps something this family needed right now and didn't know it. We do now! :)

  4. puppies are wonderful and I think this one is quite fortunate to of found a good home with you.
    If he is a chewer, I would recommend a bag of rawhide chew sticks too.

  5. Thanks, y'all! Thanks for the tip, Rhonda - I did pick up a rawhide bone, and another toy that's a braided rope - it's the favorite so far! :)
