All of Morgan's kisses....................priceless!

Same here. Although, I do love to go in and visit them all weekly, you can tell they appreciate company and your love. I'd never pay a breeder for a dog. Even if it's $15-$45, when adopting from a shelter it's actually going to someone who needs it.
