Welcome to the great site COl. there are so many kind and helpful people on it who are only to glad to help you in your hour of need...I'm so sorry to hear about Jessie,
(we lost our boy Merlin nearly two years ago. We have also adopted from Many Tears, a little puppy farm cocker bitch just last December, she is called Holly and is also black, Holly has turned out to be a wonderful sweetheart and the change in her is so amazing and so rewarding.
hope all went well to-day and so looking forward to seeing pics of Bob.
