Mousgroupy...I think that is a wonderful line from a wonderful song and so true! After the death of our last dog, my husband said "no more dogs...I can't stand the grief when they die." That is part of the "package" when we bring a pet into our lives, though, isn't it? Unfortunately they don't live as long as we do, but the joy they give in their short lives is well worth the pain. Don't worry, we know your heart is in the right place. And, yes, we have another dog!! Our precious Bella (now 5 months old) came to live with us 3 months ago.
