Angie, Paula emailed me again and she and her husband have decided to adopt Annie. You 2 sound like a matched pair of bookends...being the hound lovers.

Sabies, thanks for the words of encouragement. We have friends (as a result of getting Dudley from NYC) in the city and they complain about the cost of housing out there all the time. I keep telling them to move out to the Midwest and they would see a dramatic drop. Barbara couldn't believe that we have 1/2 acre and 1060 square feet on a full basement and we paid 70,000 for it. As opposed to me who thought that was too much for such a small house, but bought it anyway! lol I only lasted a year in an apartment...I couldn't take it. I can offer you the house across the street that is STILL for sale that aly won't take!! lol Good luck with the search.

Keep checking out the site, Esther is very diligent about updating every day or 2. I was thrilled to see that Wilma is on her way to a forever home.
