thanks so much everyone! i really do appreciate it.

I have really gotten attached to him, and all great pyrs! ive fallen in love with the breed now. so *IF* i do get another dog, witch will NOT be anywhere in the near future, i would really love another pyr.

I dont think we will be able to take the dog back afterwords. Im just hoping he will find a WONDERFUL home that can take care of him.....

My parents said we couldnt visit him in the shelter. they dont want me to even touch him and then come home, because it could spread. besides, it would break my heart to see him there.

thanks again everyone.
