Bad dog people and good dog people


There was an incident on the road in front of our place today. Carol's daughter came to pick out her puppy, and just after she turned into our driveway, there was a person in a big pickup truck, who was running his pit bulls, one on a leash out the drivers window, and one running free; these dogs were running flat out, and guess what? Smart fella ran over his own dog, the one on the leash. I'm not going to say any more about it, except that the dog is dead.
On a better note, we had a good visit with "J" and she decided on girl#3, whom I call Ruby. This'll be a great home for this pup! Carol's dog Jess is a half sister to Tess, and they just love her, so I hope this pup will be just as lovable for them (Not much doubt!)
How's this for a family portrait:
Ruby has the cutest white-tipped ears.
Sorry about the blurry photo; do you have any idea how hard it is to get photos of squirmy wiggly pups? We're hoping she'll have one blue eye.

When the next litter, I want my name in the pot.

That is a sad tale. I hope they reap their just rewards.

The couple with the puppy have the look on their faces that I have seen at the hospitals with a newly born child. I believe Ruby will be in a perfect place.

Wow some people!

But the puppies are so cute, and the pics are easier when they start moving around seperate from each other. But then they move and want to play. But cute none the less.

Some people are just plain stupid.

On a happier note, I love the family pic! The pups are way too cute! Then again, I'm partial to Border Collies :)
