I have thought of you often and wondered how you are doing since you lost your beloved Duffy. For me, it is good to see that you are ready to give another dog a good home.

Yesterday we put down our Sheltie of 17.5 years. Very hard to do but was necessary. I think we will adopt a puppy but I think sometime in our future we will also adopt a mid range to senior dog. You see we didn't mind that she was deaf and could hardly see or that we had to carry outside for 3 mos so she could do her business...she had been extremely faithful to us.
