Thanks all....older dogs rule! All the "kinks" are gone and hey, we are all "older dogs" ourselves! I urge folks considering adoption to look at older animals. Although they will not be with you as long, you will give them a forever home, give them a good ending and they will love you so much! We should hope that for ourselves too!

Last year, we lost our beloved standard poodle, Jazzper. He was 2 months shy of 16. We were beside ourselves and said we would never get another dog because we could not stand the grief. After a little over a year, we could not stand the empty house. Jazzper was a joy to the very end, these new guys will be too!
