I saw that on FB. Cloning because you want your animal to never leave is just plain stupid. They may be genetically and physically identical, but the personalities aren't. As if we don't have enough dogs looking for homes out there :conf4:. A dachsie owner should know better!

I wonder about that, too. :sosad:Quote:

Lots of prayers for Mini Winnie. As much as we hate the loss of our canine family its part of the package called loving something. There is a shelter dog out there praying for a home and we need to make dogs in petri dishes.Oye.:sosad:
