PL she is a 15 week old Westie with so much energy!
That is because she is a terrier. I love Terriers, they are an attitude in a small dog. I had a Jack Russell who lived until he was 17. I miss that dog every day. He was a great little dog with so much personality and attitude.

Nope. Never had my own, couldn't get pregnant and even if I could have the chances of being able to carry to full term would have been risky. It never bothered me that I couldn't.  My husband and I had said that even if we could have had kids of our own, we still would have adopted. I had worked for an agency that specialized in adoptions when when I was younger and always delighted in seeing the families.


You and your husband are two very good people and I admire you both. It isn’t everyday that you run into people that actually want a family and care enough to still have that family when they can’t; and that’s the sweetest thing I can imagine.

Glad I met you.

Thank you for that comment.  Our thoughts were that people can have kids but it takes someone willing to raise kids not their own to be a real family.  I have cousins who were adopted and never thought of them being different. They were family,  I guess that is why adoption was always near and dear to me. In this family, we adopt everything even our animals. Lol.

For some reason the emojis for giving you a vote do not work, or I would give you one.
My apologies.

With that said, I too have a little family of sorts when it comes to animals. lol

And I wouldn’t think of them any different than you do, PurpleLady. I think you and your hubby are wonderful people.

You’re welcome, PL.
And I must say that I really don’t bother with the judgeits, but I do like to express to some how much I like their comments, but I guess I can do without. lol

You, hubby and the family have a great day, PL.

Thank you. We plan on having a great weekend. Next week we celebrate 25 years of marriage. People are always amazed that it lasted because we met and was engaged a month after meeting. We also celebrate our daughter's adoption day which coincidentally is the same day as our wedding anniversary. Hands down the best  gift I ever got. Our son is at Job Corp getting his high school diploma and welding certification and it is ran like the military. He loves it. But we miss him.

My biggest concern when Topix shut down was that I’d lose contact with some friends who I only knew from Topix. This place takes care of that...well most of it anyway. I do like this site better so far. Seems easier to use now that I am getting used to it.

Seems like over the last few years Topix was just phoning it in. They hadn’t changed anything about the place or upgraded it in any way.

Indeed, i have been having fun with the features here which Topix lacked.

My daughter is adopted and now we have Louis. My love for both is the same. And also my stepdaughters of whom two i adopted as my own. They are all the children of our fam. Each one brings something amazing to my life.
Those creatures who dragged you about adopting were simply grasping for any excuse to insult.

The features, the atmosphere, all of it is a great improvement.

I guess you "were simply grasping for any excuse to insult." And you aren't very strong in that area either.

You guess? Not very confident, are you?

Exactly.

Well she can be confident that all her posts will go poof.

I am confident that Louis is waking, he is kicking his little feet about, he always does a few mins before fully awakening. See you probably tomorrow.
