ok, so my mother showed up for easter lunch, not with a rabbit or a chick...but with a puppy....a shetland sheepdog puppy named princess.....she had mentioned this arrival, but we were somewhat unprepared for the reality of my mother buying a dog that we will end up raising....at some point.......however.....let's talk positive...my mother is quite transformed by the arrival......just tickled pink to have someone to take care of...and to dote upon.........this pup will be a very good thing, indeed...........
