Sammi! A gal pal for Buddy? Congratulations, we can't wait to see pictures!

Aly, you had talked about the internship in New York - how about waiting until after that to start a poodle rescue, as you will have that as more credentials on your side, which may look more impressive to grant-granters. I forget - do you rent? If so, do you have an unlimited number of pets-friendly lease?

When you do start your rescue group, I bet those senior centers will loooove the senior poodles - shouldn't every nursing home have a dog-in-residence?
