I don't think the rescue has a return policy. They've disclosed what she's like. We're going to introduce her to our dog Wednesday night, and if it goes well we'll take her home Thursday. I'm off work Friday and the weekend, and my wife works this weekend so she's off Monday-Tuesday, so she'll have 5 days to acclimate to us and the house before we leave her home alone with the other dog.
I should also mention that when we checked her out on Sunday I nearly had my face eaten off by a vicious pack of pitbull mix dogs. However they're only 12 weeks old, so instead of ripping into my flesh there was a lot of licking instead. There's 5 left to adopt from a litter of 13. |

Well, I have followed this thread forever and seen so much. But it is now my turn. Daisy, my magnificent Labrador was diagnosed with inoperable cancer and we are in the last phase of her life. I cannot think of her not being here, it is hard.

The Stick

Get another. Had to after my golden of 17 years passed. Really tore me up. Only lasted 2 months before getting another.
Second golden got inoperable spinal cancer at 13. Had to put her to sleep when she couldn't control anything from about halfway back. Was taking care of my Mom with Dementia and she became more my Mom's dog than mine. Would only go for rides if Mom went and even slept with her. Mom got so upset she wouldn't get out of bed (very bad for dementia patients). So got a new golden puppy the next day. Wow! Getting that puppy realy woke Mom up from the dementia. Mom started doing more and remembering daily things better. She even cooked again, so she could feed the dog from her palate, but she stopped cooking 5 years earlier. She even remembered how to use the microwave to make herself tea.

Daisy looks like a sweetie. Very sorry to hear of her (and your) troubles.
I agree with Rutager, spoil that little doggy.

 Has anyone ever done a long distance dog adoption? What is involved? It’s been a few months since Rexy died, and this gal has shown up a thousand miles away.

Rockfan4 - Hounds are “special”. Either you like them or you don’t.
We’ve had 2 bassetts, and then there’s hank. Hank is Bassett / Beagle. Best advice I can give is that they always are on lead (unless you’re o.k. With their nose getting the better of them...) Hank tends to eat rabbit poop - which generally causes a bowel infection. Hank also had a slipped disk in January. He recovered pretty well over the course of 2+ months. Pretty close to air cooled overhaul territory. Difference is that I couldn’t bring myself to spend that kind of $$$ on a car.... Hank is a pretty special boy. And a really great friend to have around.

 Just to follow up - we adopted the hound. She's been in our house about a week now and is adapting very well. She's very sweet when she's asleep, and a terror when she's awake, she's tall enough and coordinated enough to get her paws on the kitchen counter, silent as a ninja. You only know something's up when you hear things crashing to the floor. She doesn't bark much at all, except to bark back at the neighbor dogs when they bark at her. She's afraid of the two behind our house, right now she runs back to the house when they bark at her. |

Thanks, it was a hard blow....they are family, and these dogs are fiercely loyal and he was one of a kind.

How did the other two handle losing him?
I had one that would go out and lay where we buried her partner all the time. First day or two it was hard to get her to come in at night.
