    Hi everyone, so i have something on my mind. As many of you know, I have been looking for a puppy. Well i got an email a couple days ago that a dalmation puppy is ready for a new home (in late April). I have been asking myself, am i ready, is it too soon? I guess if it is meant to be, it will happen.

    Hope all of you and your puppies are doing good!


    Peace

    I love that you gave Rocket a steak dinner. And I agree about the surreal thing about being there for the last breath - surreal, but weirdly comforting too.

    I don't think it's too soon. Go see the puppy. Then you will know.

    I predict you will fall in love. :D

    Hmmm lets see.....will you be ready? YES! I know you need this puppy! Go see her! It will heal your heart and give you a new purpose. Trix is saying come on Daddy.....be happy again! She wouldn't want you to be this sad ever. There is nothing like puppy breath, puppy kisses, puppy fun! Be good to yourself....you deserve this!

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    what kind of car/truck is that norm? and does the pooch always ride in the back or just because he was wet?

    i just got an suv with lots of room in the back. but i always let her ride in the middle seats because i feel she's just too far away back there. :lol: everyone says i should just put her back there and keep the rest of the car clean though.... :?

    I'm freaking out lately....I take gracie, everyday, to a small park where off leash is prohibited....but, of course, she's always off leash :roll: :lol: . I totally get the leash law thing but gracie NEVER is bad with other dogs, kids, people, etc. 9 times out of ten, "dog people" are the only ones there....and most of them let their dogs run, too. gracie loves to run and needs to run (for my sanity). anyway, I talked to a girl yesterday who just got ticketed. she said the animal control person appeared out of nowhere and was a total bitch. the girl said she and her dogs were the ONLY ones at the park. I've met the dogs....old sweethearts. well, no warning no nothing....just a $150 fine. gracie has no money to pay a fine and I'm going to be pissed if I have to pay. guess it's just a choice I need to make. then again, we're running if I ever see that bitch! :lol:

    well. you could just give her a really long leash. Get one of those long tie out cords (or really long rope) and attach it to her leash. No one ever said you couldn't use a 50 foot leash...right?? ;):lol:

    every morning norm gets me up at 6 :roll: to go for our walk...it's a great 3 mile walk around a watershed...when i first started walking there, i'd keep norm on a leash but almost all the other dogs were off and very friendly...so i let him off leash and he's been great...he gets to run after rabbits, squirrels etc and i can concentrate on my walk without having to stop every 3 feet so norm can spend 2 minutes on one scent :roll:

    been doing this for about a year now and there's been no problems especially if i get out there at daybreak...it's only me and a couple people walking...a couple weeks ago i found out animal services has been coming out and giving tickets for dogs off leash...hopefully they don't like to get up early so i should be ok but really, a responsible dog owner should know if their dog is good off leash...we shouldn't be punished for the bad owners...however, this area is also used by horseback riders so i can understand their concerns for dogs running loose but i just hope i never run into one of those "dog catchers" that are on power trips

    good point. I have no qualms about gracie being off leash...not for her; not for the park's other users. another thing....we've probably been to this park 200+ times since I moved here last august and I've never seen the dog catcher. so, I kinda like my odds, but I keep hearing more and more stories of this "warnings are not my policy" nazi :problem:
