Love at first sight...

This is the picture that made me fall in love with my dog Gates(he is the black one smiling on the left).  Up until I saw this picture, I had no intention of getting a dog.  My roommate at that time, had been searching for dogs and could not decide between the two.  They were brother and sister, but she had her heart set on a female dog.  She showed me this picture and it was love at first sight!  I called the breeder the following morning and set out for Western Kansas to meet my soon-to-be best companion.  Life is funny this way, sometimes you stumble across something or someone when you least expect it... I look forward to the future and the unknown, but sometimes it's nice to look back and remember moments like this.
