Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

Hi,

Well I will find later tonight how things are with the Golden boy.  I have to phone the CSC Rescue at 8ish.  

I have been reading up on all types of aggression today (got a couple of books from the library   ) and that has helped me out a bit!

I did a search on Yell.com for the nearest behavioural specialist to me should I need their help - and the only one in the area lives about a 5 minute walk from me!  Funny the things you find out!    

I saw the 3 girls at Many Tears as I have them on my "favourites" from a while back.  They do such good work there taking all those poor puppy farm dogs away from those pitiful existences.  

Anyway - will let you know later how I get on

Fingers and paws crossed for you Tiggerbabe x

Good Luck, hope you get him     Keeping fingers crossed.  Will be back later to see how things have developed    

[tiggerbabe]

Thanks Shirley!

By the way, the dogs on your webpage are all absolute crackers - but I especially like Morgan, what a cutie!!  

 

[Shirley]

Thanks Tiggerbabe  

Only the cockers are mine, don't think I'd cope with four dogs.........three maybe one day, but not four    

Morgan is, at this moment, sitting beside me with one side trimmed perfectly (well as good as it gets with me on the other end of the scissors    ) and the other side a scraggy mess    He got fed up last night and wandered of somewhere that the crazy woman with the scissors couldn't find him  

Let us know how it goes  

[tiggerbabe]

Aaaaaaargh!

No joy this time either   .  

Just phoned CSC rescue and the golden boy has not been surrendered after all.....

I feel really gutted now - 2 in a row!  

She has my number, and says that she will phone me as soon as another suitable dog comes in

I'm sorry!
But don't give up hope the right dog will be out there, I'm sure. What about the three little black and tan girls, they look gorgeous!  ( I don't mean adopt all three )

Third time lucky Tiggerbabe !

[tiggerbabe]

Thanks - I am definately not giving up that is for sure, as Lizzy said the right dog is out there somewhere  

It is hard though  

I live in Scotland so the Many Tears dogs are quite far away, and being ex puppy farm dogs I would maybe biting off more than I could chew.  I don't know anyone that has ever had an ex-puppy farm dog that I could ask for their experience or opinion?

I don't know if anyone on here has experience of this?  Perhaps if you have you could PM me?

I would love to be the "one" that could offer one of those girls a happy home, but having had a rescue dog in the past that suffered from severe Separation Anxiety, I don't know if these poor souls would tend to suffer from this once in a new loving home.

The last thing one of these girls needs is to go somewhere then not to settle in.  

I think they need someone who has experience of re-homing an ex-puppy farm dog........but I could be wrong!  

All comments gratefully received!

Sorry you've not had any luck this time either, Tiggerbabe    Just need to keep looking, eh.  I'm sure there's a dog out there somewhere for you.  

Those girls in Many Tears really do deserve loving homes.  I would absolutely love to have one of them. Even printed off pics to show Eric but it didn't work.  He's sticking rigidly to his no more dogs.......yet, rule    

Good luck for the next time!  

Where abouts in Scotland are you???

[tiggerbabe]

Hi,

I live in a little village near Beith in Ayrshire - I moved here in September and I love it to bits!  I wish I'd moved years ago!    

Surrounded by hills, lochs etc etc - but no muddy feet tagging along on our walks yet  (apart from my 11yr olds that is!)    

Another thing I was thinking - an ex-puppy farm dog would not be used to cats either would they as they have usually not even been house trained let alone introduced to kids and other animals!

Bless them

Well, the saga continues!

I received a telephone call from the breeder (that I was in touch with at the beginning of this thread) this evening.

She was checking to see whether I had managed to find a dog since we last spoke, so obviously my answer was "no"!  

Long story short - a guy that she sold 2 dogs to a couple of years ago is not able to give them the time they need anymore as his mother is suffering badly from Dementia and his wife has depression.  As a result he is spending long hours in the house unable to leave and take the dogs out as much as they need.  

The breeder thought of me and said that it was coincidence that I was looking for a dog at the same time as this guy was needing help!  She is not expecting me to take both dogs (who are 4yrs old) but will phone the guy back and tell him that I am still looking.    

So, once again, FINGERS CROSSED!!!
