The dog musing/vent thread
- Thread starter Laurelin
- Start date
One of the rescues called all my references (they asked for 3). Then my friends and colleagues called and/or texted me to be like "OMG the rescue called!" My one friend briefly considered sabotaging me and telling the rescue I'm a terrible owner, because he doesn't like the way the hound girl looks and wants me to adopt a Husky mix at a different rescue 
Thankfully he restrained himself.
Astro is tired of being asked which option he wants me to take, I asked him again tonight and he laid down facing away from me. Wrinkly dog speak for "I don't care, just make a decision soon woman!"

This morning at around 4am Rigby woke me up by standing next to the bed and whining.
Usually she only does this when she NEEDS to go outside, so I jump out of bed and try to leash her up.
Nope. Didn't want to go outside. She just wanted me to sit on the couch and cuddle her a bit.
Can dogs have nightmares? It's the only thing I can think of...weird dog.

That sucks.There's a dog out there that needs you more
They seem to get in BC, aussie, or ACDs and/or mixes a lot. I'll find something. There's also a couple litters I'm keeping an eye on too. This guy just really stood out to me. I'd love to get an older pup too, about 6 months, which was his age. I love puppies but with work an older pup would be easier.

My heart.
I was so set for options. But today I met a Golden Retriever-Shar Pei mix at an adoption event (boss was there, and a friend wanted to go). Put in an app, raced home, grabbed Astro, brought him back to meet the dog - that's how intense I feel about this dog!
They were so in love. Played together so perfectly. The dog is good with kids, did great at the incredibly crowded event with strangers reaching out and grabbing him, gave everybody kisses. 10 months old, so past the crazy peeing-everywhere stage (though of course I'd have to potentially refresh his house and crate training).
I so hope they call me.
