I'm the same way, Tonya. I like dogs from 3 years old, on up. I'll never have another puppy! I figure - let the other people get the cute little puppies. Often right before they calm down, people decide they've had enough of them and bring them to the shelter. That's where people like your mother and I come in!

Not that you're going to do that, Betsy. I know you're not like that.
