What a lovely surprise to read your post in the other thread - and now
to have you sort of re-introduce yourself. I most certainly do remember
you - I have an e-mail from you which I have kept, to remind me of some
of the sensible things you said!
When I was born, my grandparents had an Airedale. She loved me and
guarded me. People didn't realise she was a guard dog, as she would let
anyone into the garden - where I might be in my pram - *but - she would
never let anyone OUT!!! Baby as I was, I sort of remember her.
Enjoy your puppies (when you're not being frustrated >g<)
