Thanks. We're talking over our options, we just would prefer to get a rescue, so that we can save one, you know?
What we've experienced with all of our rescues, is that people get animals for gifts, and then don't really want them, or older people can't take care of them. (This happened with my Granny, she had to give away her baby, for she was a danger, ie: tripping over her, not being able to take her out in the ice, etc.) Also, like my mom, who got a dog after I moved out, and realized that I was the one taking care of our previous dog, and she couldn't give it the attention it deserved, so she had to get rid of it. Man, I sound like we're a bunch of good for nothings!! But, in all honesty, my husband and I have owned several dogs over our lifetimes, and would welcome another into our home. The time will come, and it will be right. I know this sounds crazy, but it's one of my prayers lately. And, I pray that Rascal is in a safe, warm, loving place tonight.
