I am not perfect, but I am pretty good with dogs. If they are so hard up for someone to take great care of a dog, they need to broaden their horizons. No, my dog will not be an inside only dog. No, my dog will not be expected to be under lock and key every second of everyday. My dogs need to be able to be dogs. I will train my dogs to go on trail rides, be around the horses, sleep out in the barn with the other animals (which is really great when the horses push open stall doors and are wandering around the inside of the barn) <br /><br />Can you tell that I am a little irritated that I did not get to adopt a dog?Belle's personal assistanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202017525814542193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138993497339296072.post-11912890886158857102010-02-11T21:55:37.102-07:002010-02-11T21:55:37.102-07:00I know, I'm sorry.

I just love Johnny Cash, and I want to wrap my arms around Tiny, kiss the top of his noggin and tell him everything will be alright (because he looks a little worried, IMHO) And I'm just window shopping. I wouldn'nt dream of adding the stress of a new dog to either Cowboy OR the family at this time. <br /><br />No More Homeless Pets in Utah has a huge adoption even in June and another one in August. <br /><br />And I've thought of being a dog foster Mom but I won't do it until Cowboy is gone , but Mr. SD has been known to become very attached...Lisa Deonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619574582795102959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138993497339296072.post-82931822147242576272010-02-11T21:25:22.791-07:002010-02-11T21:25:22.791-07:00Oh, they all look beautiful!

I wish I could've been in a position to get her a companion five years ago, when she was healthy enough to enjoy it.<br />I can understand Cowboy's attitude. Tanji always preferred to romp with the young whippersnappers and pay for it by limping afterwards. It's important to look good in front of the pack.
