Now it is just SO full of bounce and happiness and joy! This new Joni came home with us on Saturday. She is (I&#39;m sure I don&#39;t have to tell you) absolutely perfect. (Border Collie, of course.)<\/p>\n<p>I must relate a little story of how Joni 3 came to be ours. We were going to see her, not sure if she was coming home with us, for many different reasons. She is related to our last Joni, the one we lost in October. When we had finished looking at her, patting her and watching her play with her siblings, we stood and chatted with her breeder. The puppies settled into two heaps in their play area and fell asleep together. When it came time to make a decision and go home with or without her, Steven looked at her in the pile of sleeping puppies and asked &quot;well, are you coming home with us then?&quot;. She looked up, stood up alone, walked over to the edge of the play area and put her paws up on the top. No one else had moved. She chose us as much as we chose her. So of course she came home with us. Looking at her eyes, can you imagine turning her down? And now\u00a0\u00a0I have a new photography assistant apprentice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ot-hashtag\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/s\/%23365project\">#365project<\/a> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/100592274381408887512\" oid=\"100592274381408887512\">G+ 365 Project<\/a><\/span> by <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/112180555080313027108\" oid=\"112180555080313027108\">Simon Davis-Oakley<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/116561223902153824937\" oid=\"116561223902153824937\">Patricia dos Santos Paton<\/a><\/span><br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ot-hashtag\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/s\/%23dogloversworldwide\">#dogloversworldwide<\/a> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/114944941956349340056\" oid=\"114944941956349340056\">DOG LOVERS Worldwide<\/a><\/span> by <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/117000139571713536948\" oid=\"117000139571713536948\">Robert SKREINER<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/101497232459662504683\" oid=\"101497232459662504683\">Michael Boeckels<\/a><\/span><br \/>and craving the indulgence of the curators for being late (or early) for  <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ot-hashtag\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/s\/%23fidofriday\">#fidofriday<\/a>  <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/111700522129731539879\" oid=\"111700522129731539879\">Fido Friday<\/a><\/span> by <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/105852782594022510198\" oid=\"105852782594022510198\">mel peifer<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/104962347070667053810\" oid=\"104962347070667053810\">Lisa Lisa<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/114839663135720829360\" oid=\"114839663135720829360\">Suhaib Ayaz<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/100275369366064591159\" oid=\"100275369366064591159\">Wes Lum<\/a><\/span>\ufeff<br \/>Dog Days \u00a0curated by \u00a0<span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/103956957229860720258\" oid=\"103956957229860720258\">Nancy Claeys<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/102161618884993195814\" oid=\"102161618884993195814\">Dog Days<\/a><\/span><br \/>The G+ DogPark \u00a0curated by \u00a0<span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/117399283230241619463\" oid=\"117399283230241619463\">su ann lim<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/115145812983523155770\" oid=\"115145812983523155770\">J.C.
