How I did it: We paid the county fees and got to take him home. So far he is fitting in really well. He gets along with our basset hound Rosco. We are thinking of naming him Joey. He is such a sweet dog. Read how I did it…

If you identify with what is permanent and always there, you are happiness itself.
