Annette... Happy to hear from you...it's been awhile. Sorry the sex stuff hasn't gotten better, but sounds like you have good company with your new puppy. What kind? If you remember, two yrs ago we got a puppy for my daughter ( she's sort of detached...does have close friends, the same ones since beginning school, but she has this take it or leave it attitude...luckily her friends pull her in). Anyway, she and this little dog really bonded to one another. It's really the most amazing ( and cutest)thing to see! The puppy is the best gift we could have ever given her.
