going to stay in the same place for a long time or maybe don't know what they will be doing in the short future years. I adopted one 16 year old chihuahua and had him for a year. It was my pleasure to love him during his twilight. I've also adopted a couple others that were older but they stayed around a lot longer which was fine.

Right now I am unsure of my future and I already have 2 13 year old babies but I've spoken about taking in foster dogs. So far the animal control around here has not sent any announcements for any dogs lately. They have so many kittens!
