Yes I do understand. Everyone in my office is a dog owner/lover and there is just a special bond that develops. You and your co-worker are going to have so many fun conversations in the days/weeks/years ahead! I am so happy for Rachel. I, too, will choose a shelter dog for my next dog (not any time soon though! ) I truly do believe they totally understand the whole concept of being rescued and the bond is instantaneous and deep.

I love your pretty signature and the multiple shepherd syndrome is a hoot! I guess I have multple poodle syndrome. These are diseases that we don't want cured!
