Dang I needed someone to help with my lawns! pity I'm in a different country. There must be enough rich animal lovers in the US to help? Where are the famous people when you actually need them? Nice story Betty and with more attention I hope the gorgeous looking dog gets the operation cause at only 3yrs this dog has got many years left to live!
