Sorry to hear about the doggy situation....geesh that's certainly a tough call. Are you certain that the shelter couldn't help? I know some (depending on where you live...grant it not in my three horse town...) have a type of rehabilitation program for these situations to help the dog adapt. It could even be something "physical", like a chemical imbalance or damage from when they were a puppy..perhaps a vet could offer some insight as well...<br />Best wishes no matter what happens! =0)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-82820336585009485712009-11-18T13:43:46.135-06:002009-11-18T13:43:46.135-06:00I can tell already that I would be a crying, slobb...I can tell already that I would be a crying, slobbering mess by the end of this book! This is a timely post for me as we've been struggling with our decision to adopt our current dog. <br /><br />We have a 14-year old basset hound that we rescued in '97, and he's such a great dog. (And you're right, they are always pups). We also have a 4-year-old pit bull/rhodesian ridgeback/shar pei mix (?-we think) who fell (or was thrown) into our yard on Christmas morning in '05. We took her in, and she's really sweet, but every once in a while she goes crazy and attacks our basset hound. So far, she's put a few good holes in him and narrowly missed his eyes a couple times. This happened again last night. We know this isn't fair to him, but we know if we give her away, she will just run wild out here and probably become a bigger bully than she already is, and if we give her to the humane society, there is no way they would adopt her out. *sigh* Where is Cesar Milan and his therapeutic pack of dogs when you need him?<br /><br />Sorry to write a novel on my first comment here, but I needed to get that off my chest. At least it was on-topic!Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-30077533726007126452009-11-18T10:36:04.529-06:002009-11-18T10:36:04.529-06:00Petty Witter: It really was!

Those experiences must have been amazing as well....any chance you have to help change a life, definitely is a gift.<br /><br />Tribute Books: Thank you for the kind words! Gin-Gin sounds so sweet! I always feel bad when I visit the local shelter...I just can't stand having to leave them there when all they want is a home of their own. I want to adopt them all! It was great to see in this story the love she had to share helped her create her extended family.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-66208886137541394432009-11-18T09:33:49.203-06:002009-11-18T09:33:49.203-06:00Dear Gina,

Your reviews are always well done - thanks again.<br /><br />I adopted my first dog, Gin-Gin from the Humane Society when I was 10-years-old. She was an elderly Shih-Tzu and would have been euthanized if we did not take her. She was the most well-behaved dog I ever met :)Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-31111858109507251752009-11-18T08:17:06.489-06:002009-11-18T08:17:06.489-06:00Wow this sounds like a truly inspirational book.

In the past I have worked with children with special educational needs plus our nephew is on the autistic spectrum and have seen what a huge impact animals can have - and especially dogs though in our nephew's case it was cats. Thanks for this great review.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.com
