Mark, the confusion stemmed from your saying you were going to "adopt" a puppy. :-) In Rescue we "adopt" out dogs, so, because of your use of the word adopt, Joe thought you were getting a pup from Rescue. Is that about right Joe? Barb Bowes Bo & Chelsea (Pyrs), Flopsy (Pyr Shep) & Machin (Doxie) The more people I meet, the more I like my dog! bamb@monmouth.com
