Kay, you're the one that cares for the dogs, aren't you? It's not like you're 5 y.o. and get a dog and your folks do everything. I waited 50 years for my first dog. Anyway, listen to me ramble on. I know you have vet and food bills. I've only got one and it's always something. Anyway, the reason I'm encouraging you to adopt again is so you can have 4 dogs in a row with a bisquit on their noses!
