That won't happen with us. Wife had to have the surgery a few years ago so no kiddos. We went through adoption classes and home study, etc and tried that route. We had over $10,000 invested into that to get on lists but they kept stringing us along. We weren't even trying for a newborn.
The dog before those 2 was named Bear. Yep. Named after that one. Coyotes got him in the yard and tore him from end to end and killed him. So we got these two as a replacement. Went to Just get one...and the lady had 1 left out of the litter and cut us a deal if we took it. So we did. Rat Terriers are all I've ever had, and all I probably ever will have. I just love their nature.
