What is tough for me is that the loss and the gain of animals because the person that would take one that has passed might not be able to handle the other one you have left. The GSD's breeders would get first dibs I think. They are young enough that I should find out now. Our Wirehair Jackson who is our heart, would be tougher. My sister-in -law and he have a love/love relationship but they have a Golden, a little rat dog, a cat and 2 teens so I don't know if that would work. Jimmy's niece has always called Jackson "her boy" but she has health issues and a Cocker to deal with. Likewise with the cats. Everyone would fight over the Siamese but the Persian, Ms. snotty, royal princess pain in the .... ,who has food allergys could be difficult. It's a good day to think about this and make some phone calls. Jim and Lee Ealy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
