I loved this story. We lost our sheltie "kahlua" after 13 years and it was very, very tough. We swore we wouldn't get another dog because we didn't want to go through that kind of pain again. About 6 months after we lost Kahlua we were on vacation in Cooperstown, NY when we saw an older woman walking a sheltie. The sheltie ran up to my husband and he melted. We ended up getting a new sheltie

Ms. Mad,<BR/><BR/>It's so hard sometimes to know what is the best thing.. and like you said, people love in different ways. We sometimes wondered if we shouldn't have tried to find a home for Lass where she was the only dog. We struggled for 3 years trying to rectify the issues between Lass and Mattie (this was after Lass had been with us a year) so well into her 4th year with us we pretty much

Interesting - that you should write this entry at this time. I had a rescue dog-dog, Gracie, for a number of years. I loved ! loved ! loved her.But offered her to my 10 year old great nephew. He loved visiting her infrequently.He's ADHD and has trouble making and keeping friends. I envisioned they'd be best friends forever and my Gracie would be happier in a more active, younger home with a

Hi Ms. JB,<BR/>You have a wonderful story.. would love to read more...thanks for the comment. I hope one day Lass' original owner will tell me about her history.. as I said to him - our excitement must be similar (in a small way) to what adoptive kids and birth parents feel when they connect for the first time - oh the questions that can now be answered.. :)

I love this story. When I got Roxie all I knew was that she was 3 years old and needed a home or her owner was going to shoot her. I couldn't stand it and went and got her. SHe has turned out to be the best dog I have ever had myself, but not the best dog the family has ever had. She is terrified of everything, especially men. You can tell she has been beaten by one. But she would give her life
