She is my heart dog and I love her more than I can possibly relay in words. I do not want to let anything (even having puppies) come between her and the rest of our lives together! She gave me a beautiful boy to love. And who knows, if I use Dusty as a stud perhaps I can keep one of the puppies from his litter!

Thanks again everyone for your input. I am comfortable with the decision now. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!
