Angels3,

I love the poem about Abby !!!

I'm sure you know of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
in Utah, USA. There is a article titled "The Zen of Old Dogs"
in this link that I think reflects the same spirit about the
adoption of an older dog...

I'm seriously thinking of adopting a Senior dog if I
ever get another.

P.S. Also liked the story "Things I can never know
about Roxie", written by Francis Battista .
