Thank you M for this. I had actually bookmarked it already, lol. I am in information overload. For everysite that says they are not good with small animals or cats, we find 2 that have just the opposite information.
One lady swears that her Staffy tries to mother her hamster!
Another says this is the only dog she has owed to help her small breed resuces adapt to their new lives.
I appreciate any and all advice and stories to share.
This is SO not my dh. He usually reads and reasearches months before bringing anything home, even the Tassimo!
