i am convinced

that i need a guard dog.

hubby is out of town this week - all week!

this is the longest he has even been away from our family & i am super saddened. it is lonely & i think i hear strange noises all the time. he is planning on going out of town for several weeks & i cant live in constant fear of predators! (okay, so i exaggerate a little!)

i have wanted a newfie (read: newfoundland), and now i am convinced i NEED a newfie.

just look at her cutie patootie face!!
