Welcome to the 'new puppy mommies'. Someone (that I could cheerfully do something horrible to) dropped a puppy on our busy highway. We finally caught him after two days of living in the woods. I couldn't take him to the local shelter so now I have a new puppy. Trust me, you aren't too old. This one - named J.J. - sleeps under the sewing machine when I am sewing. Great compny and I hope yours will be too.
