Hi Mary-Alice...no, I do all of her shopping mostly on the internet. She really is a tomboy and her clothes are truly for practical purposes...harness type shirts for when it is cold and the hoodies too...and pretty leashes and regular harnesses for the rest of the time. She doesn't mind wearing the clothes at all but we try to stay away from frilly things. When she gets going she is one wild and crazy girl!

Sharon was not impressed with any of it and she brought a sensible harness and leash for walks since one of Punkin's shortcomings is that she pulls on the leash when Ron walks her. She is all business and is always in a hurry...she walks nose to the ground and she since we live right next to a small man made lake she has to stop and visit the yards of every dog along the way. She also wants to play with every time she meets along the path but if they happen to have a dog...well this is another reason that we called Sharon...Ms Punkin needs a lesson in manners. And Sharon is teaching us dog behavior so it is going to be wonderful for all of us!

Ron was born in New York...I am from Tennessee and someday we hope to be FROM Arizona. Chances are that will never happen but you never know...

We can't wait to someday see Bella staring in her own movie! Sharon told us that she is smart as can be and she certainly is adorable! Who knows maybe Michelle can write a script that includes the two of them...what an adorable movie that would be...or even better...how about a TV show? Stranger things have happened and all they need is lots of exposure and a  huge lucky break! Two people have already told me they were scheming to snatch Bella from Michelle...those two were Sharon and Helen from Bone Appetit...she said when Michelle brought Bella in the store it was love at first sight.

We are all VERY happy today! Our vet called us to say that they found a lost dog with no collar or chip and asked Ron if he would put up signs all over the neighborhood. He did and a while ago they called to say a woman came in carrying one of the signs and she was crying...it was her dog...he was an oldster with health problems and she was so grateful to McClintock Animal Care and especially Ron for putting up the signs. I am so glad I don't have to go to bed tonight crying...I felt so bad for him...his name was Barkley. Poor thing...no...he is one lucky dog!

Thanks again for the comments...I am thrilled that you read my part of this awesome blog! I wish I had some of Michelle's energy.
