Aly, you have such a tender heart, and I commend you for it. Lucy is a very special looking dog. Who wouldn't love you? I hear Helen's sweet little voice when I think of you....Honey just about wiggles her rear end off when she hears that "Honey, Honey, Honey". I know Lucy and all the rest of them feel the same way.

Here comes the "but"......you are so good, and so loving, and you are doing your level best to "save them all". And you do save a lot of them, Aly! I have to slap myself into reality all the time, and realize that I can't bring every single needy one in my house, and I'm not nearly as involved with it as you are. One huge consideration for me is money...I spend much, much money every month on something to either protect or cure my pets. Even with a very generous veterinarian, 4 is a lot of animals to care for, and especially the dogs are very expensive. And I'm no longer a student!

Everyone has been so "right on the money" in their advice. You owe it to yourself, and to Reece, Lolly and Shiloh to make them the top priority. If you take Lucy, then you know there will be another too.

I sound like my mother , so let me apologize in advance. I'm just thinking of you and your huge heart.
