Apparent I.Q. (or lack of!) LOL!
There are lots of little doggies needing someone to love them!
Here I am trying to talk you into getting a doggie and Meg is always trying to talk me into getting a kitty!
I have had many dogs and cats when raising the kids and when my last little sheltie died, I cried for days and just made up my mind not to get attached anymore. It hurts too much when they go! I told Meg if a darling little kitty walked up to my back door, maybe I would give in.
