After 11 more days in the mountains, I called home, and my husband told me he bought a Border Collie puppy!

Tell him that if he promises to take good care of him, walks him every day, feeds and waters him and trains him to not bark and always obey commands, then you will let him keep the dog. But ONLY if he keeps his promises!

I am not a dog person; more often dogs growl and bite me.

Good luck with the new puppy, wd. I like other people's dogs, but I know my limitations as a prospective dog owner and have never seriously considered it.
