I am considering adopting a 1.5 year old cock-a-poo who is being fostered right now after his owner gave him up. I lost my job last week so now would be a good time for me to do this. He seems great, has been to obedience school and everything like that. I've never had a dog before so this one being already trained is perfect for me. I hope this works out.

I take it you had her fitted with front botties that she can't squeeze out of? Have no fear like I said it takes time for them to get used to them.. Keep it up and by the end of your winter weather it'll be old hat, and next year will sail through smoothly, and soon she'll expect them to go on. They really are helpful, they also help on the "track in" factor. We always take them off just before the dog(s) come inside; paws are dry and clean, and dirty booties get hung to dry... (SOOOO much easier than the old method, you know mopping...lol :-) )they look great on her!
What is Sammi's story? where did you get her, how old is she? she's gorgeous but yes, even in those pics she looks unsure, and yet she trusts you, enough to go.. She's an awesome dog. And what IS she? Could be so many things..but I definately love your doggie.
Chloe Dancer ( the lady who is fostering her for us is calling her that now ), has gained six pounds total and is well and strong enough to go to the vet today. Please send us some good vibes, she's developed an upper respiratory infection, we think it may have been from being in the cold.. please send us some good vibes.. we're taking pictures so we can try to build a case and we now have a major shelter that we work with, in our corner. The only thing is I stole the dog.. I don't know what we're gonna do about that...Please keep us in your prayers.. thanks.

Try to stop thinking that you "stole" her. She "got out of her yard" and you took her to a foster, thinking she was a stray.
Years ago we had neighbors who neglected their dogs. They even left them behind when they moved! They came back about once a week to get stuff they'd left and would give the dogs some food, but they would have starved if we hadn't fed them. My husband saw the neighbor once and told him if they didn't want the dogs anymore, they should take them to a shelter. The neighbor said oh no, they still wanted them and would be back for them. Never happened.
After 3 weeks had gone by, I felt like I couldn't take care of 3 additional dogs (we had 3 ourselves). I called the human society and they said I couldn't really go into someone else's yard and take the dogs. However, if the gate JUST HAPPENED to be left open and the dogs JUST HAPPENED to get out, we could bring them in as strays. Well, of course we went into the yard and got them but when we took them to the humane society we said they were strays. All 3 were young and fairly healthy so I've always hoped they were adopted.
I will do my utmost on the good vibes for Chloe Dancer!
Found him on floor of bedroom crying when I got home. His legs had lost control.
I don't like this at all.
That happened to Jakey too. This is very hard I know. You've been there for him all his life and this is apart of life. Hold him while you can. I'm sorry this is how it is when your dog lives a good long life and you must say goodbye. Through this all remember, you are blessed with the love you will have forever.

Such true words... remember, sometimes our final gift to them is to ease their suffering, no matter how much it hurts us.

My heart goes out to you. I have been with dying animals but not my dog. There are so many people here including myself if you need to express yourself. Take these days and enjoy what you have. Be strong...much love.
Thank you
She's my baby!
Not too happy about having to stay in the garage tonight, since we checked out of the hotel this morning and are staying at my dad's friends house for the remainder of our trip... :(

I just went through this with my boys, one year apart. It's no easier the second, third, hundreth time around. I have been with many animals as they pass,some my own, some rescues that didn't quite make it. Everyone here is right, all you can do is give them the company they gave you in your darkest of hours; in theirs. We're all here for you, to listen to anything you need to get out or share,..This seems to be one really awesome grip of animal people.
Thank you
She's my baby!

she's ma cuuutie... too bad she's a snob and doesnt like anyone but a few of us - she has a face everyone wants to pet but she don't like no one
"Pleeeeease let me drive, just for a minute. Swear to God I won't pull into the nearest Arby's drive through. Well, at least I'll try..."
I'd name him Cujo before either of those names.
Update is it looks like the people fostering him want to keep him..he's that lovable.
She might not like those booties, but damn she looks soooooo happy.....

Very adorable
I have never been with a dying animal.
It's Christmas and I'm alone with him.
Been to vet, can't do anything about it.
Found him on floor of bedroom crying when I got home. His legs had lost control.
I don't like this at all.
