Glad you're here! I wouldn't take anything for our four cats and dog. Our dog is big, gentle, loving, and wonderful just like Moose. We got her from the pound, one day after the pound people had to terminate her pregnancy. We've often wondered if she thinks those cats are her puppies.

This is a WUNNNNNderful thread! Thanks, DonRedwood!
