I am sorry-grateful.
I still think about adopting a dog. This is Hachi, who ended up last night on the ACC euthanasia list for tomorrow. He weighs 33 lbs, which is very good for my apartment, and he likes cats. Cat-friendly dogs show up very rarely on the ACC killing lists. Usually the dogs are strays so there's no history of how the dog gets along with strangers, other dogs, or cats, or else the dog that is cat-friendly weighs between 50 and 100 lbs! I draw the limit at 40 lbs.
I really don't want to think about adopting a dog until the hip replacement is out of the way and I know my mobility is back on track, but Hachi might be murdered tomorrow. I was prepared tomorrow morning to adopt him if no one had stepped up. Well, I am sorry to lose him but very very grateful that some kind soul adopted him this afternoon.
