I think some of our favorite dogs have been from the local
SPCA dragged home by our youngest daughter. Now we share her Malmute Husky who is a big baby. We love him but he
has too much shedding.
I think the nicest dogs are raised by you as a puppy and raised
to mind you just as you would your children. After all they are
a part of the family.
We are retired and after having to put our last doggie to sleep
after 15 years of enjoying her was too much for us. No more
dogs of our own.
