= new reply since forum marked as read
That is so cute!
I got to hold (and gets kisses and my fingers chewed on by) an 8 week old puppy tonight named Mitizi...she was a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog!
She was little now but is going to get to be a big girl.
Oh...and she had puppy breath and was soft as butter!

A major squee indeed.
You may pass out or something. 
What the hell happens to some of us!!!!
