Thanks Mugsy and Aly for supporting my decision. I wasn't sure since I didn't end up taking Trader how others would feel about my taking this dog. I probably would have taken Trader if no one else had but it just seemed like things didn't work out or even feel right about our taking him. I wasn't really sure about his dog but the more I e-mailed back and forth with the person that had him the more I felt he needed to get out of the situation he was in.

Amy pointed out to me the different dogs she had thought about and had not ended up adopting and then realizing that had she taking them they wouldn't have been able to take Spot. So maybe there was another reason things didn't work out for Trader and us.

I am going to start a new thread about our adopting Jack so if you want to read about his vet visit you can see that thread.
