I can't tell you how excited I am for our upcoming trip. You must be out of this world excited because you only have one more day. You are so lucky! I can't wait to read you TR when you get back. We're still a little disappointed we won't be meeting but completely understand why we can't.
You should take the leap and get another doggie. Hannah is getting up in years so when something happens it is going to be so devastating. She raised Daisy from 5 weeks and Daisy sleeps on top of her every night. She cries when Hannah and she are separated. We are very attached to Hannah. She is a special girl.
Not to go on and on but we adopted her from the Humane Society. She is a full blooded black lab. Her owners didn't keep her up and she became impregnated by a stray. In the breeding world that makes her tainted if you will. The owners dumped her at the HS pregnant. She had 8 puppies. She did so well they gave her 4 orphan pups and she nursed them also. She is an excellent mama. Of course she was taken care of so she can't reproduce again. When we got her she was a bag of bones. Not anymore!
Okay, I'll move on. Sorry for the long story. We just love our dog and will definitely adopt again. Unfortunately black dogs are the last dogs to be adopted-black dogs are euthanized more often than any other color. She has been such an excellent addition I just had to share.
I have adopted most of my dogs from rescue organizations or the humane society. I think you get the best dogs that way as they are so grateful to be out of that situation.
I had no clue that black dogs were the last to be adopted? That is a shame as personality should matter much more than color.
Well the babies are beautiful and I am definately feeling the tug at my heatstrings!!

I am also sorry we wont get to meet, but I will be looking so forward to your trip report!!
