Thank you linamend. I was never one to face a battle without courage that I can overcome an obstacle. I was paralyzed totally from polio when I was 10 months old and life has been a series of compensations mostly met with success but not 100% perfect but how many of us can claim that 100%. Yes, our rescued dog is not the same as the one we loved and lost but given a chance and time, you and I have given an opportunity for our new companions to be as much loved as the former ones.
