Time certainly does fly yes Gwen. I'm not sure why she has this fetish for tennis balls, I bought her 18 smaller balls a little while ago but now she seems to prefer the larger ones. She walks around with one in her mouth nearly all the time when we are home. They all seem to end up stuck under the sofa or under some other piece of furniture and Daisy will sit and cry for that one she wants that is somewhere hard to get, even though she has loads of them in her toy box.
I can't imagine life without her now, yet I clearly remember how long it took me to bond with her and how there were times I contemplated returning her to her breeder
