[Grumpy old man]

I'm sorry to hear that happened . We are sort of in the same conundrum right now , About 12 years ago we lost our little dog ( a rat terrier ) and I was looking to replace him and with few available in our area I was tempted to find one over the net but I wasn't so sure about having one shipped in $$$ I didn't want a puppy mill dog with all their health issues so I checked our local shelter and found the perfect dog and we adopted him that day , Now he's getting older and I want to find another puppy and let him learn from our current dog . he's the perfect watch dog , never barks in the house , loves riding in the truck . The next puppy has big shoes to fill .
