    I'm with you on this Jen. I just don't understand it.

    Recently a couple of coworkers were asking my opinion of getting a dog and of course I gave my usual speech about checking the rescue organizations around town. What did they do??

    One spent $800 on a Spaniel puppy and the other one $700 on a Golden Retriever puppy. I just shook my head and walked away, but it's their choice. I don't respect them any less for it. Some people just prefer pedigrees.

    Me?? I'll always get a rescue.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
