hmmm..... Zacko, sorry to hear about your dog. I can't agree about people accepting animals for free 'not caring' though.... Our cat Salem was 'accepted for free' and couldn't be loved more. She's purely a house cat - hates going outdoors - and has this pitiful croaky squeak for a meow. (She CAN meow. She did it loud enough the one time she sneaked outside and it was raining.... we heard her THAT time!!! lol) Apart from the great way she claimed a cushion on the back of the chair in the bedroom and takes the long way up to it EVERY TIME which involves deliberately jumping across the bed in a V-pattern instead of jumping straight up. Great at 3am, yeah.....lol (",)
