Hi Joan....thank you for sharing.......I am just a worry wart at heart - I even worried about bringing a rescue bunny home when I knew she wouldn't be 'running free' unless I was home chaperoning every minute - I'm so overly protective...sometimes maybe I need to relax a bit. I put the chi adoption on hold coz I thought it was possibly selfish of me - but...this opportunity presented itself and I need to at least meet her. I worried when I brought my schnoodle, Timmy, home - but Liza just tolerates his goofiness...she stays out of his way when he's hyper...and has no interest in playing with him ....but she's a good girl - Timmy is so playful - I worry that he might be 'too playful' - but again - worry worry worry... THANKS...meeting is drawing closer!!! Lynda Fingers crossed.....
