awww thank you everyone for your warm thoughts and welcome wishes.I do love pet talk.I am addicted.Of course I am addicted to a few boards so I am always trying to find a minute to run in and check my email and check a board my favorites are pet talk of course and greatpets and the two that come to my email for my specific dogs the shiba list and leonberger list.I am also training all these puppies of course not alone,my children help.My daughter is 19 but goes to college fulltime and works at a veterinarians part time and a day care for children almost full time and my son is 12 and goes to school.My other son is the one with his own family and doesn't live with me .He is 23 today.I am divorced so I do have the puppies alot during the day but the kids are great with them, so my day is quite full.I am dissabled so I am home and not at work so I have more time than many on the computer but my computer is very slow but right now I have a roomate with a fast computer and when he is out I jump on his and just love it
