I've never asked my hubby, but I'm sure he would. He always describes our "family" as the two of us and our siberians. He loves them dearly. If something happened to both of us, I don't know...Sherman's breeder says he is ALWAYS, for life, welcomed to come back to them if need be. They take bringing a puppy into this world very seriously. If my sons had a place to keep Star, one of them would take her in a heartbeat. Hopefully if this ever happens, they'll be in their own places. I'd prefer Star and Sherman stay together, but I know that may not be possible.
