DOG...gone

I've now learned the difference between "just looking" at dogs in the shelter vs. looking for a dog to take home and love. If you are in the latter frame of mind, you do not hesitate or go home to think over adopting a pet. I did, the sweet and friendly dog went to another home... and I returned to mine, alone. I thought I was relieved, then spent all afternoon on Pet Finder, looking and wondering. Guess I need to give up pretending that I don't want a pet!

My daughter-in-law tells me that, when you are ready for a dog, the right dog will find you. I can live with that idea. Then she threw a curve into my quiet life by telling me that she knows a breeder of Golden Retrievers who gives away to a good home any dogs that will not work in their breeding program. Hmmm....

There's nothing like an angel on your shoulder, giving you a gentle nudge!
