Years ago when my dad adopted a cat from a rescue they asked how much he would spend on vet care. He said $200 a year. They wouldn't allow him to adopt until he said he would agree to pay for a hip replacement for a cat at $2000. He said, "sure"! Of course he wanted the cat and figured they wouldn't even be at the rescue when the cat needed that so called replacement. He got the cat. And he would be so proud of you getting your new dog! Congratulations!

He said, “sure”!

Of course he wanted the cat and figured they wouldn’t even be at the rescue when the cat needed that so called replacement.

He got the cat.

And he would be so proud of you getting your new dog!

Agnes: That petty little number box has yet again managed to trick even my most genius of readers and I apologize. For you Harry Potter fans, it's like my own personal Dobby. Believe me, as soon as I figure out how to get rid of it, I will. If anyone knows, do tell. Thanks to all!

It's like Recycling but all the items are free. Someone actually gave him away to me. He's the best dog I've ever had. No questions asked. It was more like..you want him..you got him. Thanks for the comment on my blog too...very sweet of you. Wow…I adopted my Australian Red Heeler from a website called Freecycle. It’s like Recycling but all the items are free.

Fresh air is good for the soul, canine or human. BTW don't we all unfortunately involuntarily develop a penchant for stealing our mother's identity the older we get?

I did, but we've had better luck than you and your cat so far. If I could only get our new dog to stop running off with my shoes...Thanks for your good wishes. And yes, I feel we are totally in sync! Julianne: Not to worry. Should Jake pass thru here, I'm armed and ready for him. Agnes: Good thing you didn’t have to fork over any dough.

What a palaver that was, eh? I don't think Madonna had to go through as much questioning to adopt The Baby David, did she? I adopted a cat about a year ago. I was never told that I had to pay for adopting it - I actually thought I was doing them a favour. So, when she was brought to my house and the girls went Oooh, Aaaah, can we dress her up? and she seemed to settle, I was then presented with a bill for £50 at which I blanched and refused. As a trade-off, I gave them an old Epson printer which I was going to donate to the charity shop - I was utterly skint and there was no way I was paying £50 for a scabby, skittish, mental Tabby... She legged it after a few months...and I was glad to see the back of her - all she did was crap in my house. I now have two cats which I have raised from kittens, so they know the ground rules. Much as I appreciate the idea of rescue animals, I would never get another and admire your dedication, my dear! The Best of British Luck to you! Oh My Giddy Aunt! What a palaver that was, eh?
