Oregon Humane society has a wonderful program where dogs over 6yrs are about $85 and as another older female, my discount was $50!!!!
And so Lyla found me! She knew I needed her and I'm just so thrilled to hear a tail "whap" the floor again! I'll be forever grateful to Rebecca of Burch Quilts for her post! Will send a copy to the humane society.

I know how you felt when I lost my old cat a few years ago. She was 171/2. I was suffering a lot of panic attacks for over 5 years. I waited for 6 months before I got my new kitten Misty. She is just over 1 year now and we have a fighting match every couple of days which has helped my panic attacks which are now zero and it is good for her as well. Twice she has been bitten by brown snakes but the vet was able to save her. I have now got her insured and I am glad because $800 each time is too much for me being on a pension and I do not want to keep getting kittens to train. I am glad you have your new friend.
