Puppies for sale

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a
sign advertising the 4 pups. And set about nailing it to a post on
the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the
post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes
of a little boy.

"Mister," he said, "I want to buy "one of your puppies."
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat of the back of his
neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of
money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his
pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the
farmer.
"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a
whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called. Out from the
doghouse and down the ramp ran
Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.
The little boy pressed his face against the chain
link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence,
the little boy noticed something else
stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little ball appeared, this one
noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then
in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup
began hobbling toward the others, doing
its best to catch up....
I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The
farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want
that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like
these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the
fence, reached down, and began rolling up
one leg of his trousers.
In doing so he revealed a steel brace running
down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.
Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run
too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the
little pup.
Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
How much?" asked the little boy. "No charge," answered the
farmer, "There's no charge for love."

Mary,

I'm a dog lover and have dogs all my life. I had a Lasah, Pit bull, and now, a Doberman.

My doberman has chew up so many of my resin figures is not even funny. He even chewed up one of my limited edition German tank commander figure which was hard to come by...

You know, no amount of models can compare to a love of a canine.

If you don't mind, here's a poem I like to share that I wrote to my dog:



My Jerry baby is almost two years old,
he's handsome, robust, and way outta control!

Shining black coat with deep brown eyes,
he love to chase the neighbors and butterflies!

Jerry like to eat my best friend's shoes,
plus the furniture, pillow, or whatever he choose!

He would follow me up and down all day,
where I sleep, that's his bed!

Sometimes I would take Jerry out for a walk,
people that saw us would shout "What a magnificent dog!"

Little do they know he's spoiled and well fed,
charming on the outside with a mischivous head!

Jerry is the burden of my love and a comforting shore,
Without him, I'd be long gone I'm sure

Thanks for making me well up at work Mary. Picture of my "pair of Jacks." The little girl is only 12 weeks old...

Then the kid walked home with his puppy, took off his brace and said to the puppy... "the brace thing works all the time."

Naw, he hobbled around the corner, jumped into the Maybach and they drove off to Fairfield County.
