Thank you for your kind words. Yeah, I owe my life to my first dog. My father trained dogs in the military so I have been around them my whole life. She is worth it ultimately, just she is behind the curve having been caged for two months. She was on legal hold since Dec 9th, 2009 and we adopted her 5 days ago. She deserves a safe place in the world. Fortunately, my wife had some time off and has given me a breather. I have to be careful now to make sure I don't over do it but I am forcing myself to be safe. Thanks again for the responses.
