On another note, I learned some horrible news the other day about Mahkayla's brother (and this goes in line with Julie's post). Mahkayla's brother was recently killed because of his mange.

When we took Mahkayla into our home, we specifically offered to take both dogs. It makes me very angry that the people who took Oren did not have the resources in order to maintain him. His disease is quite manageable (even if it is not always curable).
