My husband and I have always had shelter dogs. Over three years ago, we went to a shelter to get a dog. It had been a while since we’d lost our last one, and it was time for a dog in the house. We were going for a lap dog that was older and had…
We didn’t want another dog. After all, we’ve already been chosen by several outdoor cats, who we’ve had fixed, and who we love and take care of. We also have one indoor kitty, two rescued guinea pigs, and a chocolate lab (her first family offered her to us when they had to move and couldn’t…
