Deciding... My husband and I agreed to adopt a dog. This was followed by months of discussion. What type of dog would harmonize best with our two cats? We settled on these dog requirements: It should be a puppy, so that it would learn early on to respect cats. It shouldn’t mature to larger than… Continue reading Part 2: What Has Your Pet Taught You? by da-AL→

While I was setting up links to Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com, my book screamed at me:
