My mom didn't care much for animals even though we always had a dog of some sort as I grew up. When my third Berner came into my home and I told her I had a new puppy, there was a silence. Slowly, she quietly said "I guess I never am going to have grandchildren." I suggested she consider her dogs her grandchildren but somehow the idea never caught on. :) Susan Ablon Gweebarra BMD Balch Springs, Tx http://www.pageweb.com/gwebara
