I'd love to get another dog, but it would not be fair to the dog to
bring one into the house right now. My grandson though, took in two
dogs that would have been abandoned but he cannot afford to take proper
care with vet and food. So, I have two "foster dogs" that come to
visit. They get plenty of love and attention.
