Thanks man. I agree that dogs need dogs, and I'm concerned for our sole survivor, JD. We just can't bring ourselves to get puppies (as much as we'd love one), with all the shelter dogs waiting for homes. Our last few dogs have found us when we weren't even looking, and I expect our next one will find us too. They're usually pretty weathered, and probably not "adoptable" by most standards, but to be fair, that description applies to me as well. For now, I can't even think of looking.
