| when I was a young lad there was a guy who rode an old Honda Dream across one of the main drags every morning & back every evening at rush hour. On the back of the bike in a milk crate was his dog ( a scotty). Now days it seems far more common to see riders with a dog.

All I can say is that I am sorry to hear this! However, there is a good story to follow I am sure...ON BOTH SIDES! I am glad that you realized the issue early on and asked the pup to move on! Good for you...SERIOUSLY!
I can't wait to hear the new story of your new pup sometime down the road!
Blue,
I was going through threads and happened back upon this one and it gave me a thought. I know you said it will be a while before you do something again. No worries there. But the one thing that kept hitting me while re-reading the thread was this:
Let the new pooch pick you! I would bet if you think back, Buddy picked you and not the other way around. Dogs have some innate ability to look at someone and just know that that is the person they are meant to live with. Of course, many people don't pay attention to the dog that is trying to get their attention if they have an eye on the "cute one in the corner" which is paying zero attention to them.
Again, good luck and let us know how the story ends! |

scotts valley, California | Hi, El, This story probably never ends. At this point, I am still dogless, but my wife has been at Guide Dogs for the Blind for the past three weeks being trained and bonding with her third guide dog. This guide is a very small (47 lb) black lab, a very sweet little dog. It is going to be hard for me not to bond too much with this little guide; she, as a service dog, has got to remain closely bonded to my wife. The wife's last guide, Amara, retired to a great home across town a few months ago, So our home has been dogless. Now, at least, we will have a dog in the household.
I understand what you are saying about letting the dog pick me, bonding is a two way street. Buddy was given to me by a friend who had too many dogs in his household. The friend just brought him to work on day and gave him to me sight unseen. Buddy and I went to Jack in the Box for lunch and bonded immediately. He was a great little dog.
When the time is right, my next dog will probably be a "pound dog", but who knows what the good Lord will bring my way. |
