So -- turned to a breeder instead and bought a new puppy and now she had checked gorgeous little creature named is -- good morning to you -- it. Current so I'm trying to figure out this story because I find it so actually ridiculous on its face first of all how old are you Harriet. I'm 69. Okay and -- in 2009 that's pretty much middle age. So you are 69 years old your husband is seventeen and you go to a shelter in Lebanon Ohio to trying to adopt a puppy and they told you what."

" I actually did it through email and that we found a puppy. On the -- three email that we were interested in. And so I sent in -- for an application and then they -- the application to me I filled it out and send it back to them through email. And they -- came back and ask a series of questions they wanted to know how far -- Kentucky we weren't sure and how old everyone who lived in our house slash. And I filled it out and senate back to them. And then the next email communication I got was that we were not. Approved by their board to adopt a young dog but we could adopt a dog that was six to ten years old."

That's what we thought -- but I also have other family members who would have taken care of the dog if that didn't happen. -- a lot of dogs are up for adoption just -- trying to wrap my brain your office. There's numerous dogs and that's why we thought we'd go that route would -- one that needed a home so let me -- we've had. Certainly had nine or ten dogs throughout our lifetime absolutely and you. Won't forget about that."

" You have raised people you've been -- Foster parents. Many many years you're okay according to the state to race people but according to -- online person you couldn't raise a little puppy so. Clearly you were insulted."

" But all's well that ends well because you did wind up with that adorable. Is -- on your lap where to get into. We got is a -- breeder little -- branch in Walton can -- I I think they didn't ask how old viewer. No they didn't and ironically the of the person who runs the the shelter apparently -- 62 years old herself so I'm not -- sure she should be asking anyone their age but.
