There's DARE in the MD - DC area. They do great work re-homing Dobes.

Outstanding organization.

If I make it to heaven I know I will be hit with a four pound black and brown bullet named Phudd.

Quite a few other dogs will be flying in too.

Ahh, so if we could harness your dog’s energy, we could declare the energy crisis solved?

Actually, it’s -killing- me.

About two weeks ago, I lifted something I shouldn’t have and the already pinched nerves got pinch-ier and laid me out.

[that’s why I’ve not been saying much, here]

Today was Odin’s vet appt. and Mr I Can’t Jump Into The Yukon By Myself [my eye!] insisted that I lift his big arse up onto the seat.

Now I’m flat out again, pecking posts with one finger while looking the laptop screen sideways.

I’m trying to learn this stupid “Dragon Naturally Speaking” thingy hubby got me so I can “talk” again.

:)

That is a very sad story. She hints at a troubling aspect to this story that is not explained. She moved home for her pregnancy? She was preoccupied with personal problems to the precllusion of taking care of herself during her pregnancy? There is another story here that is even sadder than the loss of her dog.

But, she is right about one thing — animals can teach you a lot. And, I can tell her something else — she will never get over her guilt for ignoring her dog in his last days.

Has Mr. I Can’t Jump Into The Yukon By Myself earned your forgiveness yet? ;-)

I will pray for your pinched nerves.

I have owned Australian Shepherds for some years now and I know how protective and companionable they can be. I knew that my future son-in-law was the right one when my Aussie greeted him like a family member.
