Thank you for the feedback.... The idea that my dog may be taken as someones dinner had crossed my mind, but I was hoping it was a horrible stereotype. She doesn't go far from me, but I have also had thoughts of her being stolen.... I'm just at the researching point of my journey right now. This is something I really want to do, but I have so many more things to consider than if I would have had this opportunity when I were younger. ~~~ thanks again ~~ DAwn
