Now I no longer take daughter Kristal to get her photo taken with Santa--I take a couple of the dogs. Now I no longer shop the malls for the latest fashion buys--I shop the pet catalogues and vet supply catalogues for the latest canine buys. Now I no longer have half a life--because of the people I've met and the dogs I've known, my life is whole.
