so would I!!I have had service dogs since 1992,right now i have an akita lab mix and I swar he has been reincarnated,as he does exactly what 2 of my best sd"s did.
These dogs have given me my life back and I would be a dog rescuer if I had the bucks!!

I would set familly up first, pay off all houses. I have allways wanted to have a lab rescue, you know what would happen--noone would be turned away. My DH would go nuts. Travel with the whole familly together. DH would feel better. I'm sure I could find many things to do with the rest, I'm not sure where to start.

I would open an after school art and craft program for the kids in my town. I'd teach them how to crochet, knit, quilt, ridgid heddle weave I'd ask thoes who knew how to do other forms of art or crafts to come and teach when they had time. When I worked at a daycare for a short time I taught tunisian and crochet, simple weaving, I tried to teach knitting (but the boys played with the needles like swords) and some quilting in the school age room the kids "ate it up"
