In a few days Twyla and I will turn 66. I know we have both thought about our dogs, and what would happen if either of us died. However, we both know the other person would be there to take care of our dogs as well as we did, and also go though our stuff to see if there is anything worth taking. We don't need a stinkin will, or a written agreement. Also, your friends know where to turn. I know the Coleman recently helped with dogs that needed placing, and I remember when Marsha Moses died, that we went to get her old bitch to bring home and how she become a house dog. No one had to arrange that, we just were happy to be there. Folks, we are one big family here. There are over 1,000 people listening to us just on this List, and in that group alone are people with hearts big enough with space for another dog to fill. It seems to me that we find a way to go on when our great dog friends leave us. I believe our dogs can adjust to our passing just as well. Have faith in your family, by blood or by passion, we will be there.

I do feel that it would be very difficult for me to be "dog less" for any length of time. I would need to consider something smaller so that placing that dog or dogs would be easier if necessary. **************Start the year off right.
