Mel: Time is well overdue that Maiwenn, Gavin, Brian & you finally have a dog, or dogs in the house. After all the cats, birds, chickens, rodents etc. that you have spent the last few years with, thank god you are finally thinking DOG. We got Lassie a few days before you were born and you spent your whole young life growing up with her. She was as much a part of our family as you and all your siblings. Get a puppy, so that you all can grow and create a history together. It doesn't matter where you get it from. Just get the dog of your choice and don't worry about Liberal,Conservative. Your dog is not going to know the difference. Get one, love um lot's and fill up your life with total joy. That's what "Gammi" & I did with Oscar & Mayer. Love ya... "OP"
