    My husband will not answer the home phone, not because he does not have thumbs, but because he thinks the call will not be for him. he just lets the call go to the answering machine. 99% of the time the call is not for him. Just blockbuster reminding our son he has over due movies.

Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet.
