Time for another doggy?

[jimnyc]

My wife and son were apparently out walking the other day and came across someone walking their dog, and they stopped to pet him and say hello. He was a mutt, but apparently cute as hell. ALL dogs are pretty much cute. So my son asked where they got the dog and he said it was a rescue from the pound. My son put the wife on the spot and asked her about doing the same - she actually said maybe!! And then he nagged.... and tomorrow we are all going to the same place I adopted Nero from!!! NO WAY in hell she lets me do that and come home without rescuing one. So I think we may have a new addition tomorrow....

I just want to rescue any dog, so long as he doesn't have a fatal problem, or is too awfully old. Need time to love one before he goes away.

I recall reading this when Jerome passed. Part of me said I would never get a dog again, because I was hurting so much. It still hurts. And this makes me bring a tear still at this moment. But my Pug was the most fantastic dog on earth and I know for sure he would do exactly this!!!

Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, giving their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask…

To a poor and lonely stray, I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.

I’d will to the sad, scared, shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.

So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and the pain is more than I can stand.

”Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.This is the only thing I can give…The love I left behind. – Author Unknown

And as gay as this may sound, not a single toy of Jerome's left this house. His bed is still here, and in it's place. I kinda always figured I would let another use his stuff someday.

You mean Montmorency from 'Three Men in a boat'?

Sorry!
I understood what you meant...

I already think I found one!!! They have pictures and a short video!! His name is Sammy, and he's 2 years old. A mix of "Shepherd & Catahoula Leopard Dog"

Needs plenty of outside exercise and prefers to be the only dog. Keep looking as he doesn't sound your type.
