I thought you would appreciate an update on Bianca … absolutely nothing is happening. Well, sort of. She is growing by the day and showing just a tiny bit of milk. I am now taking her to work with me so I can earn money and watch her every move. It is a good thing that my boss is so nice. Bianca is not bulgy … just thick in the middle. She was laying on her side on the comforter I have at work and I could see the puppies moving … pretty cool.
I will let you know as soon as she has the pups. By the way, Bianca is still very active. She worries the squirrels, tries to climb trees, terrorizes the critter that lives in the roots of the hollow tree in the back yard, hops up (with ease) onto my bed and generally doesn’t act pregnant.
The great pleasure of a dog is that you make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, he will make a fool of himself too.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.
- Aldous Huxley
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace.
- Milan Kundera
Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
