Re: Question
bahahah! come visit! he will give you tons of kisses!!!! .... the dog, not my husband....
LOL
hahaha... Brody ate my mattress, demolished the wall paper that was in the bathroom in my apartment, ate Adam's good leather belt, my hairbrush, my sunglasses, the power cord for my filter for my turtle tank, three or four pairs of shoes... basically anything he could get his mouth around. He ate an entire bottle of Motrin 800s and almost died (spent the night at the E-vet and then 2 days at my regular vet)
I found a chocolate lab mix on petfinder.com about an hour from where we live. A animal rescue group has him. His name is Nemo and I've fallen in love with him all ready! Here's a pic. I'm going to call about him tonight!
HE IS A DOLL. I also give a big thumbs up to the lab mix. Usually really well rounded dogs; They're awesome for first time owners.
We had a dog when we were engaged, we think she was a lab/german shepherd mix. Unfortunately she got scared during a thunderstorm one evening when we weren't there and broke her chain. She ran down the road and was hit by a truck. One of my friends called me and said she saw a dog that looked like ours laying on the side of the road. HH went to try and find her, but she was gone =[.
Hhhmmmm the animal rescue group that has Nemo has to come out and see your house before they'll let you take one of their animals. Plus you have to fill our a VERY detailed application and then they'll consider letting you have the dog. I wonder if they'll even come out since I live an hour away from the shelter? That sucks that I could go through all of this and then them tell me no I can't have the dog.
yes to this! My family's (still lives with my parents) black lab mix came from a rescue group and was living in "foster care" when we found her. She was only a year old but had been abused by her previous owner (a big scary man, from what we were told). Since many of these rescue dogs already have a history, it makes sense for the groups to be more aware and make sure it doesn't happen again. Plus some of the dogs (like ours) might have some quirks due to some sort of abuse... so that's worth finding out too. We had no problems at all with this after she got to know my dad (who is a big, scary looking man). But really, she is the sweetest, most loving dog EVER. To bad she is getting old now and has arthritis....I miss my puppy now that I'm all grown up and married.
Most rescue groups DON'T go to the extent where they do a home visit, but some take their rescues very seriously. When I got Brody, they didn't do a home visit, but I had to fill out a lengthy application and have a sit-down interview where they asked me all kinds of questions before I could take him home.
Gulliver wasn't even a rescue, but on the application, I was asked if I would agree to a home inspection. I checked "yes" because they could have refused me on a whim and I REALLY, REALLY wanted this cat! They ended up not coming to check my place out, but I did get the 3rd degree from the 9-year-old girl who did most of the processing of my application. She even called my mother and asked if I would be a responsible pet owner. Mom said that she thought I would.
Haha I have a 9 year old sister and I cannot see her doing that. Of course I will take pictures of my baby when I find him!
One of my dogs was a rescue... And I DID have somewhat of a home inspection. After filling out a lengthy application and meeting Petey and his Foster Mom at an adoption weekend, she narrowed it down to me and a family. She came over and brought Petey with her so that we could see how he played and reacted with Petunia (my Jack Russel). She a asked me a few more questions and about 30 min later they left. She called me about a week later to say that she had chosen me and that we would do a 2 week trial.
So he came home to me and at the end of the 2-week trial, I was given the opportunity to adopt him (I could have backed out at this point). So I said yes and she came by to say goodbye to Petey, give him his final vaccines and sign all the paperwork.
I heart my mutts. They really are the best.
ditto! I had a black lab that we just had to put down. She was the greatest dog.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
chrisnjay2010: so not only do we have the same birthday, the same anniversary, but we also both own(ed) black labs (mine was named Zoi).... i don't know how much more of this I can take!!
