PaD: Hello!

Well, hello, there.  This is Ace, my min-pin granddog.  I am staying at my daughter's house to take care of my grandchildren but Ace comes with the rest of the family.  It is fairly well know that I am not a dog person.  Actually, I am not much of an animal lover in general.  I am fine with them from a distance.  It is up close where it gets, well, hairy.

I had a pet dog when I was a teenager.  He was a black dachshund named Tiny.  I loved him dearly and cried a bucket of tears when he came to an unfortunate end while chasing a "girlfriend."

When our girls were young, we had a cocker spaniel named Heather who had a liter of puppies.  We kept an especially cute one we named Speedy.  Cocker spaniels are not the smartest breed nor are they the best dogs to have on a farm.  Heather and Speedy both got a little too close to the busy road in front of our house.  That was the end of our dog ownership.

So, I am here with Ace while the kids are away at school.  We have established an easy working relationship.  I take care of him and he doesn't lay in my lap.  I even gave him a tiny bit of scrambled egg yesterday.  He is growing on me.
