I am not an animal person, although I have had cats, more for the kids than for me. In March after many years of hearing NO, my husband gave in to the kids and got a puppy. It took a lot of looking around and searching for what he wanted exactly, finally deciding on Ranger. He was 8 weeks old at the time. In the 5 weeks since getting him I have been converted to, if not a dog person, at least a Ranger person. He keeps me busy with all of his antics, and even manages to make me laugh.
