"Why sure we do, Son- all God’s children are welcome here- that first gate was just a test." <<<
You have passed the test of love, and caring.
God has you trained now to love a dog, so hurry and go to the pound, walk quietly thru it, a dog will choose you.
It hurts to love and loose a dog, but think how much you have to offer the next one.
Sending extra hugs to you and your wife.
Thank you.
She's doing about as well as anyone does, but those little things- like setting aside little bites of tonight's steak for Taffy, and then...
Lots of good memories, though.
That old dog-girl gave so much to us, for just a kind word and a comfortable place to stay.
