           local paper on the way home from work, for a        good use and picked the one that chose me...
           Boxer or Great Dane puppy. My boss then said        So much for research!
           his sister’s Dobermann bitch was due a litter in
           a couple of weeks and we were to go do some         I ‘ picked’ a male, who I grandly named Ram
           work there.                                         of Drummad... Major to his friends. In time

           reading on how to pick a puppy....                  fourth... I was hooked on shows now.
