Amy, thank you for your sweet note. I'm sorry to just now be getting back to the thread again. Am glad you enjoyed reading it, and I can tell you *why* you probably missed it the first time - Amy's Place was only a few days old when I posted this almost two years ago. I think you were a bit covered up being a full-time hostess to that wonderful and fun daily thread. :)
I'm just getting back and will only be here a short time. Back to School Night tonight.
Last Friday, when the school bus stopped to let Marissa off, both Junior and Charly ran to meet her and the bus. This almost made me change my mind about taking them to the SPCA.
Fresno County is passing a law (due to another child being killed by a pitbull) that all dogs will be required to be spayed/neutered and either tied or penned. Charly would not be very welcome in the back yard; Millie is very jealous of Marissa. Poor LouieMax, she has finally accepted that he gets lots of attention from her.
Yesterday after taking Marissa to school, we put the two dogs in the car and took them to the SPCA (with tears in my eyes.)
Since Marissa has been asking for a kitten, we went and picked one for her. The kitty had to be spayed so we could not get her until today. Marissa is thrilled but she does miss Junior.
I'm afraid my ((( Bro ))) will disown me when he discovers what I did. Four dogs are just too many for us. In fact, JA is threatening to give LouieMax away if the new fence does not keep him in. Now that would make me very sad. :(
