Give me your address. I will pay the shipping.

Hi, JBTaylor;
I would love to be with her!

But I know you'd both miss her extremely and quoting the signature part of Sury's posts -- "Minimize avoidable sufferings - Sir Karl Popper" -- I think a 'shipping' to Istanbul would be tormenting to this the lovely, free-spirited creature.

Think of all the things you won't see her do and miss:
* Paper snatching and chewing
* Wrestling and attacks in the most unexpected moments
* Gardening and smelling the flowers
* Paw sounds in the middle of the night
* Shopping for puppy toys and food
* That she is a resourceful photo subject creating photo opportunities
.
.
A very dull life, don't you think?
