Hello all, It's so good to be back on the FML. I had to take a few months off, but I'm finally back. I really missed all the stories. It's good to see that Mo'Bob is still onery as ever. :) Unfortunately, my return is tempered by sadness. a couple of weeks ago, Fester, my adorable BEW died. I don't know what of, and I feel responsible becaues I didn't get him to the vet soon enough. Now, little Meeko is all alone, and my wife is already talking of getting him another playmate. Does anyone know of a shelter in the NW Arkansas, SW Missouri area? Maybe NE Oklahoma? I checked the database that Pam has, (Thanks, btw) but the closest listed is in Kansas. I don't really want to drive 5 hours one way to get to a shelter, but I really would prefer to adopt instead of buy from a pet store. Any assistance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
