We'd adopt an older dog next time, I think, but we'll wait until next spring to start looking.moominmammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561834420653149624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-61943670062885972007-05-08T15:45:00.000-07:002007-05-08T15:45:00.000-07:00I've never re-homed a dog.

She managed to chew through the bottom of her crate, cutting her feet on the edge, and dug a trench into the bedroom carpet. My daughter found her, feet bleeding, and called me on the cell phone, quite hysterical.<BR/><BR/>We did end up getting a dog-sitter for the last three weeks of the school year. We did end up replacing the carpet with a laminate floor and painting the room. But since she straightened up after that (we bought an outdoor dog run--and she liked it), we considered ourselves lucky. She only jumps on my 6 foot husband. That's because he allows it.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the people who are taking her have the time to train her and are thinking they can. And perhaps, since they only have 1 kid, they will be able to train her.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think you're a saint for being willing to dash to the van for another month. <BR/><BR/>If you try again, I hear golden retrievers are wonderfully trainable!Elisheva Hannah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061377724926154037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-53764519079231989902007-05-08T11:12:00.000-07:002007-05-08T11:12:00.000-07:00Hey that's good news.

Maybe the other family is confident they will be able to transform her into a more kid friendly type of dog??? <BR/><BR/>Will you get another dog or has this one spooked you away from the species? Do you NEED one to do bear patrol for you like we do?<BR/><BR/>If it helps any - ours isn't exactly well behaved lately. Not sure if he's in his teenaged rebellion or what is going on. Can't wait to get him to camp though!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235522494694453424noreply@blogger.com
