Do you know what is so wonderful about this ..?
They didn't take a puppy at the time.. they walked away to discuss it, to
share their own concerns and to determine if this was right for them.. they
DIDN'T do a spur of the moment purchase..
They came up several notches in my book as a reuslt..
Good for you, Syd!!!
