Puppy Raising

What is it about a dog that changes you?  Bringing a puppy into the house brings a new dimension, a new challenge of course, but a new perspective missed in a dog-less home.  The tail-wagging desire to please, the puppy smile, the joy at your return from the far away draws a body to a once somber, dull place now delightfully lit.  Okay, the constant fur ball vacuumed up every day and the accidental shishi isn't so delightful, but easy to overlook when puppy wants you to be her favorite toy.
