Oh Mugsy bless you! Even if you don't decide to go forward with an adoption maybe it will give him a little more"time" until his new home can be found. I should really stay off that site. There are sooooo many good dogs there and many are strays, as Ripley was. It doesn't say that was the case with little Jake, so he must have been surrendered.

- Sydney Jeanne Seward is so true. How could his people do this???

Oh Rachel - would hubby allow another cocker? I don't dare approach mine. There have been a couple of poodles since Ripley came to live with us. I know it is a dangerous site for me to visit. Fortunately the shelter is about 45 min. away so I can't readily go there and bond with another pupster in the flesh. It is tempting enough on a website. I just say a prayer for the pupster in need and hope that the good Lord hears. Oh my I hope he is listening to my prayer for Jake. What a sweetheart!
