@Grisson I worked all day today at a fundraiser and adopt-a-thon for pet rescue groups. It was astonishing to me the types of animals showing up in rescue. I think a person could find any kind of dog they wanted.
I had a terrible struggle not going home with a six-month old purebred Blue Tick Coon Hound. I asked the gal how on Earth such a stunningly beautiful, mellow, friendly dog ended up in rescue. She said, “The owners had a baby!”
Thank goodness, they were not in earshot. If I were queen of the world people would be licensed to own pets not vice versa. (I just cannot imagine why no one has elected me yet.)
