Ruth and I had some time to kill while the boys played at their friends’ house. What better activity for a couple of dog lovers than to visit the puppy store?

Ruth first picked out a shiba inu. It was cute, but way too hyper. It even made Ruth a little hesitant to get near, which is saying a lot.

Next we chose the german shepherd. Its floppy ears and soft hair made it difficult to say goodbye to him when it was time to go.

Nothing like a little mother-daughter bonding over dogs.
