sharon, yes, i can relate. i am in animal rescue now. actually, i am starting my own chi rescue group in ga. but, last year i took in a 15 yr old blind, deaf, toothless Chi from a pound nearby. apparently, his owner had dropped him off there and the AC office could not bear to put him down so she called out to the rescue community. he stiill had so much life left in him. i adopted him within 2 months to a nice lady here in Atl. and he is still alive and well! :O) never say never! --Leigh Ann
