Thanks for the tips, skiekitty. I checked petfinder and craig's list, but haven't heard of pet harbor. I also put an email into Westie Rescue. Most of the rescue people mean well, but I feel like I am trying to get national security clearance or something. I do believe that the right pet will come into my life at the right time, I am just trying to help things along. hn the meantime, I am getting things painted, etc. inside because it is too hot to garden. At least it is less humid today. It typically cools down at night here, but that hasn't been the case during the last couple weeks.
I still have a few things to plant, but haven't made much headway on the rock. I either have to wait for some strong help or rearrange my planting plans. At least I didn't break my shovel, yet. I am hoping to find/or a new one and a new handle on sale. It is nearly that time of year for the good sales at the garden centers.
