I was living in Missoula at the time and the breeder was selling the puppies at Best Buy. We saw and really liked the mother, Kylie, and to our surprise the breeder just gave her to us. She is currently around 7 years old and is just a great dog. She wasn't socialized much being raised on a farm and still isn't great around new dogs, but she is good with our kids and other dog, a German Shepard named Jake. I think she is close to the perfect dog with great energy, but willing to just hang out and very low maintenance. When these dogs pass away, I would seriously considering traveling back to Montana to get another... I have one of the first Dalton’s that were bred in Thompson Falls.

They all said they had never seen a dog that was so old. Sasha had been my best friend for many years. They are family, aren't they?

He cannot receive a signal because he lives in a valley. This was no problem with analog. The station is a powerful one and folks in the past who lived close to them had to install filters to keep the signal from bleeding over on all channels. I'm beginning to think that just turning the TV off is the best option. Those folks make a ton of money off advertising anyway. Why should we have to pay to see tv that is already heavily subsidized by advertisers? I just heard from a person who lives just 5 miles from a TV station transmitter.

I think the politeness or rudeness of texting are relative to where you are and whom you're with. If you're eating Christmas dinner at Grandma's house with the family, turn the phone off or silence it for the hour you're at the table. It won't kill you; I promise. If you're eating out at a quiet, upscale, five-star restaurant, apply the same rules as at Christmas dinner.
