Tricia, I am so sorry that this happened to you...I can't believe that someone from YT, of all places, did this to you! We're supposed to be like family, and this whole situation is wrong. It's sad that people can't come on here and do exactly what you did without fear of someone else snatching the doggie that they were thinking of getting.
I feel bad for Kim (txshopper) for being caught in the middle of it. I'm glad you don't blame her for it
It's true some blessings are in disguise, and I think this is one of them. I know you had decided not to get aspen, but still...
