It's not crazy and I think we end up with our perfect matches!! He may take some time but from his sad story it certainly sounds like he is most derserving of a loving home. How horrible to be so loved then lose your precious person and then wind up alone and outside!!! Poor poor baby!!! When he is ready you give him tons of hugs, kisses, snuggles, and chin scratchies from me and my crew!!!! We are saying prayers that all goes well and easy for Sandy and your family.
Good luck and Thank You for saving Sandy and giving him a good home!!
