> Just over a year ago, a special little guy was adopted by me.
Max is little over 2 1/2 years old. He had been abused (idiot people)
and what was worse, he had to have his left eye removed. Well, I wish
I had a hundred like my Max. I love him dearly. He has brightened up
my life immensely. Max lives with a 9 year old 75lb Golden. Together they romp
and play and enjoy each other's company, but Max rules the house!
Good luck with your adoptions.

> I have adopted 3 year olds twice. A female which I had for 8 years and loved dearly and a male which I have had for a little over a year and love. Red was badly abused, scared skittish and very skinny but is nowa wonderful loving and very happy and healthy peke. I would adopt again in a NY minute.
