I don't want to be in a position where I can't take care of either one of us, but I am really disappointed.... 
I guess when it's the right furbaby, it will be right for me and my poor back ... wish me luck.... |
O.K., Please don't take offense to this, and I preface it by saying, I don't know if you have any to lose, but the fitness trainer in me automatically thinks... why don't you lose 7 pounds, and then adopt the dog?
