After my Dad passed away from cancer, my husband decided to get us a puppy as he felt that I needed to be occupied with something that would be "cheerful."

Neither of us had ever raised a puppy, but the hubby likes to hunt. He called me from a gun show and told me he had a "surprise" for me...a nine week old German Shorthaired Pointer was plopped in my lap shortly thereafter.

I LOVE my dog, but I had absolutely no doubt that the list would include the GSP...LOL!

Honestly, the first two years were spent doing nothing more than making sure that she didn't kill herself. It was quite the learning experience; I would have two or three more if my husband would allow it!

"High Maintenance" - this is a problematic term, says Charlie
