Prayers going out for Denver. I was thinking the same thing as Phred. One of our local shelters (I think it is AWA in Voorhees) has a program called something like, Senior to Senior, and they work to match up senior dogs and cats with senior citizens. It is a great program, and one that hopefully Jean can talk her family into looking into. Senior dogs need calmer homes and are harder to adopt out because people are afraid of the onset of various medical problems/expenses. All of that, of course, is in the future, for now, I hope that her long time companion Denver, can do well on medication.
