Hi! The puppy is indeed extremely cute. You probably know this already, but you and your other half do some research on the dog breed to see if it is suitable for your lifestyle and character. Don't buy for cuteness alone because puppies do grow out of that.
Wish you the best of luck in your puppy search! It will be the best thing ever!
Congrats on your new blog! Am I your first comment? Hehe... Anyway don't get discouraged by the things you read about. Just start writing, and visiting other blogs to make friends. It IS fun!
It's just that some people are trying to make a side income from blogging, so they are very concerned with web traffic and all those technical stuff.
Btw you got a really cool looking design here :mrgreen:
If you need any help with your PHP or CSS let me know, cos I'm a web programmer and I could probably help you out.
