billy and his dog and my house

This is Billy. He owns the prettiest little Dalmatian named Chloe (a.k.a. Bubba) whose pic I shall try to post very soon. She doesn't like it when someone points a camera at her, as evidenced by an encounter with her Sunday morning. This dog hardly ever makes a sound, but when I tried to take her picture, she emitted a soft growly bark at me . Don't worry, he said, she's the most docile thing there is. I never would've thought I'd meet a technophobic Dalmatian!

Billy also came with me to see my house on Saturday. I showed him the model homes by my builder, and it made him want to start looking for one of his own. Boy, do I know that feeling. Btw, the base price of my house model went up by $38K since I signed in October! $38K!!! The Phoenix housing market is still going absolutely nuts!!!
