APR 10-07: Pepper Pie died early Tuesday morning. I slept on the couch with him on my chest for most of the night. Early in the morning (amybe 4 am), he wanted down, like he usually does because he has to pee so much or just wants to sleep in his own bed(the big bed you sent). I went back to sleep and found him first thing in the morning underneath my bed. He had never gone under the bed before. I am sure he wanted to just go somewhere to die. I wished he was in my arms when he died, but he did not want to be there. I let him do what he wanted to do. I buried him with is little sweater on with a couple of Cesar Dinners and a new bag of Pupperonies. He had two months with me almost to the day. I miss him terribly already. I finally got the “Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Dog” I always wanted and am so glad to have had him in my life.

Please be patient with us - we're taking care of a lot of kids - our own and the foster kids - and we have families, homes and full time jobs. We're giving meds to the sick kids, playing with the healthy kids, and loving on all the kids. We're doing their laundry, trying to teach them manners and where to do their business, and cleaning up their accidents. In other words, we're just a little busy but we'll return email inquiries just as fast as we pawssibly can. Thanks!

ADOPTIONS: We don't let the fact that you might live out of state stop any adoption that's meant to be, but you MUST be willing to drive, or fly, all the way to pick up your new family member. We do not ship these kids on airplanes by themselves - we think they'd have a hard time getting through security without their rabies tag setting off the metal detectors. If the kid needs a health certificate because they're flying home, that will be an expense for the new family.

ADOPTION DONATIONS: When you see the adoption donation amounts, we'd like you to know that 90% of the time the donation amount doesn't even come close to covering that kid's dogtor bills. This is definitely not a money-making venture. We're usually so far in the hole but the impawtant thing is to get these kids the medical care they need and help them find the pawfect family. That's our top pawority. (I just can't resist using 'paw' whenever I can!)

POTTY TRAINING: Please note that we NEVER say our kids are 100% potty-trained. How stupid would we be to say something like that? If you're willing to be trained by your new family member, please fill out an application. If you're looking for a totally potty-trained kid, you may as well stop at the toy store on your way home from work and buy a stuffed toy because those are the only reliable ones to NOT potty in your home. There is a period of adjustment, not just for the new family member but for everyone in the house. You must be patient, understanding, and willing to work with your new family member. It can take anywhere from several days to several months. You must be 100% committed to this, it's a lifetime commitment.
