This thread's reminding me I need to get a dog. It's been five years since mine died and I'm finally starting to think I can get another.
Actually, we FOUND rusty below on FR...A freeper put out an appeal as the neighbor/owner had taken him to a shelter in LA and he was about to be put down. The appeal was to California freepers. Sigh....we live in Ohio BUT here he still is (the most expensive pound puppy mutt we've ever had but worth every penny!!!!! Hope you consider another critter. Great on the blood pressure :o)
