Thanks Julz. That is the type of input I am looking for. The good and the bad.
I'm afraid I may come to the conclusion that my friends/family will have to fork out the cost of buying a puppy! I would love to give this "preciousness" to them, though, but not at the cost of doing any damage to my Soph. Maybe I'll help them buy their puppy...or buy one for them as a gift! I better start saving!!! ha
