Please don't edit out your link until tomorrow, Cherie. It's just been a long day on my end and I want to see the site . Also, I'll share more about my poochlet, my little heartstring . I'm thinking, I am just wiped out right now, but... not forever .


Also, thank you, once again, DocJohn, for everything you have done. Whether you incorporate or expand boards at psychcentral, you've helped and that is what matters most . You gave back to so many a feeling of feeling as if we "belong."


P.S.: Cherie, my doggie is a pure-bred (like whoopie-doo, except she could've been a show pup/dog since her grandmother and her father took Westminster as champs of their breed and her sis is a dual champ in the U.S. and Canada) American Brittany Spaniel. You were right about the Spaniel you were gleaning in her.

She didn't come home with me for show, though, but for companionship. I was interviewed for 3 hours before I could ever see the fuzzy little poochlets. And, at that, had to use a spray (on my shoes) when visiting to keep bacteria away from the doggies. That was sure a grilling interview, and the pups were the ones given the choice whether they "took" to certain people or not. Mine saw "lollipop" written all over me; she has allergies, asthma and pancreatitis; none of her 7 siblings have health issues. I didn't know, until after she got home. It was her labored breathing that alerted me and I called her puppy doctor, who cared for her Grandmother, Mother and Father. Ironically, her Mom's co-parent person is a CEO with a med. manufacturer.

The rental vaca. house is near Mt. Shasta; and, some of the images on the latter page are from Sisters, Oregon.

Good for you for adopting the rescue dogs. I wasn't aware of such when I wanted a pup. The architect of my home sent his people out looking for a doggie for me, and, then, others said: Stop it, don't do that; the doggie has to be matched to personality. They were right, as it turned out; during the interviewing I said that I wanted one who wouldn't mind kisses and being hugged. Mine's a hug-a-lot.

Now, it's bedtime and I'll visit the link you shared, too. Thank you.
