May I offer my two cents worth? The first essential is research, not just of breed but of dog behavior...I recommend reading ( and after puppy has arrived), and re-reading Temple Gardin's Animals Make Us Human. It proveds great insight regarding the dog's welfare (and yours). This is a lifelong commitment and you want to be successful. My second suggestion is training...many people don't bother with puppy classes or canine good citizen classes or clicker training..."I can teach them what they need to know..." We send kids to kindergarden not for book learnin', but for socialization. How to hang with others, how to share, how to problem solve... Puppy class is a great way to socialize your dog, bond with your dog and give your dog something to think and dream about later. Often rescue dog's come with issues, and they can be difficult, but classes give them an opportunity to learn trust and problem solving. Your dog needs to execise his/her body and brain! Thank you for listening, and my happy pup thanks you! Karrie Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Preparing the Home for Puppy: 5 Essential Items Flag this comment	7/30/09 1:04 PM
Excuse me? I'd like to mention that Canadians are Americans too. Those of us from the U.S. often forget that we are not alone in North America. Just saying. I'm sure the mussels from PEI are very good, but coming from the upper left hand corner of the U.S., I tend to eat locally. Fresh from the salty sea=yum.

Block a window?! My little condo cave has one East facing Window and East facing door with glass in it. The west facing window is a basement window. I'm staved for light and could never block a window. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Windows And Your Home's Layout Flag this comment	6/10/09 3:36 PM
I can't wait for your before and after pics. When I remodel my kitchen, the galley on Serenity is going to be my inspiration. I'd love to have Inara's room, but my style would be more Mal/Kaylee. Best of luck with the project. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Good Questions: Recreating a Sci-Fi Boudoir? Los Angeles Flag this comment	5/19/09 4:48 PM
Beautiful Huge Lake w/ sailing and kyaking. Weekly bands and Shakespeare in the Park during the summer. The Best Off-leash park with a special place for small and shy dogs. Magnuson Park on Lake Washington is my front yard! and my back yard is the Burke-Gilman Trail. I'm so lucky! and so is my dog.
