"Gone to the dogs..."

Mercy just got her summer cut yesterday...I'm beginning to think that, outside the temporary separation anxiety, she rather likes the cooler feel! I also just happened to run across one of those mass emails from 4 years ago I'd saved, full of cute "dog" quotes, some of which I know well, some new ones...figured you might like to read over them yourself - enjoy!
