There is no such thing as a free puppy. My husband passed twelve years ago and my sister talked me into adopting a puppy. At the time, I was unable to make myself stay at home, the house was too empty, so I decided to adopt two pups. I didn’t want them to be lonely while I was gone. They were brothers, chiweenies, half weenie dog and half Chihuahua. I named them Tigger and Riley.
