Yes, you are so right Chris. Dogs are wonderful in so many ways. There are many senior dogs who need “ furever” homes as well. Senior dogs have a lot to offer. We only have one of our five furry friends left now, and when our dear sweet Ekaterina(Katya) is gone, we will most likely get an older dog. That’s how it was when we adopted children as well. Older children have a lot to offer. They know where they have been and, for the most part, 🙂 are appreciative of their new life. irene5
