But if it were me, I'd be jumping, hugging, screaming for joy, running around like a maniac, thanking the lord,you know...But let me tell you one thing, I will be driving by there... If I see him again, wondering unattended, I WILL NOT RETURN HIM!!! I just gave them one last chance... She doesn't realize what a gift I gave her by returning her CHIKI!!! The lord put him in my path,because he knows how much love and attention I would've given him, thats how I've felt about this situation...But my hubby convinced me thats what we should do... After we left her house I cried like a kid... I was so confused,upset and in disbelief...I'm a true believer of what you said..."Dog ownership is a privilege"

That sounds like a good, fair plan. I'd be making that neighborhood on my daily commute if I were you... You go girl!
