Ann this is a wonderful thing for you & Emma Rose-just wonderful. A little guardian angel was watching over & knew you were meant to be together. When I was 'rescue' shopping couldn't believe the cost some of these places asked for-some of the dogs are still listed after many months and I believe that might be one of the reasons. I understand how hard it is to maintain a rescue, but geez....some rescue places ask as much as a breeder and refuse to budge. Glad you have your baby...my sympathies to you on the loss of your son, I'm so very sorry. Hugz, Lynda
