Oh, how do you set up a feed?

I just went here and searched, mine was already set up:

But I assume if it's not, you can set it up yourself. :)

Reading your blog post I was belatedly reminded of the work being done to provide returning war veterans with service dogs -- which I see other people mentioned. If you haven't had the opportunity to look these up yourself yet the results are interesting. For example, there's an agency that is training borzois as therapy dogs (not a breed I would have thought of due to their comparative rarity in North America), and I was also reminded of this item.

I'll echo everyone over there who says you'd be a good dog owner. You certainly have the right amount of interest and dedication. The only challenge would be in finding the right animal, and ensuring that the circumstances are right, which is something I don't think anyone can predict 100% until you try it. And "Faugh!" to the person who thinks love is enough. It's not. Deranged dog lover that I am, I swear it's not. Which you already know very well, but I wish that people would learn to shed that romanticized attitude. It is the cause of much unnecessary suffering -- usually on the part of the companion animals miscast in life and/or subsequently discarded.
