puppies, I

Just got back from looking at Aussie pups. The owners met us in Wilber, and we all went to the park and let the dogs out. The father and his grown daughter were wonderful dogs, the mother was shy and undersized (maltreatment by past owners) and the male puppy was, um, favorable. I was looking at the female. We didn't take. She wanted to stick with her family, she didn't like being on her back.....I think she would have been a problem. So we're going to go look at a litter up by Fremont next weekend, see their two bitches, and then if I don't get one of them come back and look at this one again. Sigh. And I'll need $75 more for one of the other litter, because they're $225. Dad says I can work it off. Ack. Debt.
