Ok, so I get a call this morning from my 19 year old daughter, Montana, who is in college back east. She calls to tell me she has really GREAT NEWS! I'm so excited, "What? Tell me?" She informs me she has a new puppy. "WHAT! Montana, seriously, you can't have a puppy, you're in school, you'll be working this summer!"
