I sure wish I were closer, I'd help you out any way I could, pooch-sitting, pooch-walking, pooch-cuddling, pooch-playing, whatever you need, but PA is too big a state and we are on opposite ends. You are not a pain in the butt and have every right to feel scared, sad and upset. I would be a wreck. But, be thankful it's something that can be repaired. In the meantime, think of all the time you can spend bonding with the pooches
. Take care, and if there is anything I can do, just let me know.
