"We know what it means when a dog, on seeing us, jumps up and down. That is, we know what it means to us:
it means that as long as that dog is alive and can find us, we will never be alone in the world."
-- If You Only Knew How Much I Smell You, True Portraits of Dogs, Roy Blount Jr.

"We are so excited! Our babies are these big, unruly, step on your toes,
jump on your clothes sweethearts and we really don't know how to be better parents ...
thankfully we have help now!" - Marybeth & Bill
