I picked up lil Cowboy yesterday........we had a good day and evening. He seemed content, ate well, played with his toys, sat on our laps and slept with me (and Shorty G) quietly through the night. He was a little antsy last evening....maybe he was done with the playdate and was ready for Mom to pick him up? Maybe I fed him too early? Maybe he doesn't like our small courtyard as a place to potty? Today has gone well. I took him with me to Lowe's to buy a new microwave (went out the day we got back). He was a good boy, accepted pets and seemed to enjoy rolling through the store.

Luca is no longer here and the house feels so empty. I was not happy about bringing him to the adoption event; however, it went SO much better than I could ever have imagined. First of all, his foster met me with a hug and immediately took me into the air-conditioned trailer to put him in a crate, where I said goodbye and left him with his favorite towel and doggie bed. He is NOT up for adoption right now. She and one of the other fosters sat down with me to go over all of his behaviors and they immediately said they need to observe him and update his profile. Apparently, when a d

Two years ago Memorial Day weekend my now forever family brought me into their home to live. My name is Lucy and I am one of 7 spoiled Tzus in the Sophie Haven clan. Since my mommy usually celebrates birthdays for those that have no actual date we celebrate it on the day of the day we come into the family.......but I am going to celebrate it with my sister Sophie next Sunday as her birthday is June 7th so we are going to celebrate together. I think I saw a bag of toys go in the closet the other day, I know they must be for me because sister Sophie does not play with toys. Our family vet said

Man I love being involved with the best people on earth......rescue people :-) Yesterday a neighbor found a tiny dog laying under bushes in back of her cottage. She couldn't tell if it was dead.....called the local PD who sent out an officer. The little thing was alive but badly wounded - probably bitten and shaken by a large dog. She was taken to a vet where she has been given a 70% chance to live. I talked with my neighbor and offered my help....perhaps I could foster her until she is healed so she doesn't have to go to the local shelter. I'm waiting for a call back from the officer and th

I have a friend who isn't in rescue but is a really good person and dog lover. Last June (and it's HOT here in June) a small black puppy was being left tied up 24/7 in a warehouse next to where she works. She could hear it crying and could see her through the mail slot in the door. She started bringing her homemade food and putting it through the slot. Finally on a Saturday (when she's not normally at work) she went in and ran into the landlord of the warehouse. She asked if she could bring the puppy out to spend the day at work with her. He didn't care, wasn't his dog and he brought

You are indeed doing the right thing for both Luca and your family. I know you are heartbroken, but - again - you ARE doing the right thing! Where are you located, Dear? I often have Breeder friends who are retiring Chs. from their breeding programs and looking to place them in wonderful "furever" homes and these dogs always have stellar temperaments. I just placed one yesterday for a friend, actually.

This story is pure speculation but sure makes sense so I'm believing it! I have been upset (and complained several times here) about the progress of Willie's potty training. Peeing only, pooping outside not inside came quickly. But he had gotten to the point where he could stay all night and several hours at a time in his crate without peeing. When he is out in the house I take him out about every 20 minutes cause I dont trust him. But occassionally I get busy and that time is (just slightly) longer. I pick him up and has has a wet boy part (hair is over an inch on the end of 'that part'). Now
