I'm disabled and home a LOT, and very comfortable talking on the hone. I'm also comfortable with email. And I have been through the loss of a dog, down to no dogs at all. Currently I have one dog, my assistance/service black Standard Poodle named worthy who has a non-stop sense of humor.

I have unlimited long-distance phone service in the U.S., and would be happy to call you if you wish. My email is KDiamondD@aol.com. I would be very glad to talk with you.
