Gotta wait for the mist coat to dry, so I check on the dogs. Just got a new puppy, and what can I say, I am a proud "PuppyPapa" and "Doggy Dad."

Well . . . until I see the mess they've made in the backyard. The new Great Pyr. puppy has shreddedthe mat outside the door, gutted a stuffed toy, and shredded my whippet's fancysilk collar. It seems that anytime I do something for myself, I end up paying for it, one way or another. I'm a little worried about what else she will havein store for me duringthe course ofthis build.
