Art materials and text books

My beautiful dog, Rastas, died of cancer in my arms nearly a decade ago. It has taken me ages to get over the loss. I think, however, that I am ready for another dog in my life, and have a name that I have been thinking of in honour of Rastas, it's  Rascal. I think every dog owner in the area knows me, as they can't walk past without me diving their pets a cuddle. 
Sadly, good dogs are not cheap, and I am and have been studying online to get my Masters towards doing a PhD later on, so that I can become a sessional art teacher at TAFE and University level. This means I am on Austudy and  in need of help. Is there anyone out there who can bring a new pup into my life?
