Elana says jiminey is doing perfectly enjoying those whipped cream boggie cups. And she said she would bring him here over the weekend....

 

Jiminey is a darn good dog and I'm glad she's really enjoying him.. i started of thinking Of the more perfect dogs that I have had the privilege of knowing maybe training a little bit and he's right up there..  the original is of course Tiffany who is resting out by the pond along with Bailey and Bentley.  I have been very lucky to have known them and to some degree to have been educated by them.

  I remember.....

I bought Tiffany from a woman named Laura who lived on Long Island.. and the deal was if I did breed Tiffany I would let her choose the stud and she would get half the price of any she helped to sell... that sounded reasonable---so in the process of making a decision I took Tiffany over on the boat so she could look at Tiffany and see whether tiff had developed into a breedable dog.. Which she of course did .  I didn't know one of Laura's dogs from the other but they all were gorgeous dogs and it turned out she bred Tiffany to Johnny  and I ended up with 9 lovely pups-in further conversations with laura—she told me to give away the merle as a junk dog.... I knew nothing.....I gave it to someone from nh who needed a dog to go to the pizza place with her – she was handicapped – then I made some comment to laura about which one I wanted to keep.. and laura said “ oh you can’t have any of this litter  I have them all sold.  Maybe you can keep one from the next  litter.” --- WWWHHHAAATTTTTTTT? I had never agreed to that.  So I just decided to keep all 8 which  is  how I got started on 8 dogs. which I hired out ---- on the queen size bed on a wagon......

And here we are--- not changed very much 22 years later- still wandering around making myself useful with a bunch of dogs...
