Thank you all so much! Believe me, WE are the lucky ones! I'm back home and typing on the ol' blackberry, so bear with me

Twinkie2Cute, I did go off on my stepmother slightly a couple of times during the days right after we got him. The sad thing is that the little female (Cuddles) was taken care of wonderfully. She is their pet, Puddles was just a commodity.
Joeys Mom, I agree. I just wish these processes could be sped up. I'm doing my best to strike a balance between my ethics and the love of my parents. As for the money -- we've been on the Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover wagon for a long time and he always says to have money put back for a rainy day. We figured that when it rains we usually get puddles . . .
Cockerduchess, thank you from Puddles and myself!
Yorkie usa, he IS a gem. Tonight, for the first time, he tried to play a little. Of course, it took me acting like a fool and doing play bows on my hands and knees in the floor
