The Cutlet has become a little fearful around some dogs, so the Petite Filet thinks it's time we started looking for one of our own. I'm not so sure, and I have even waxed lately about how being dogless gives us some freedoms not usually found when a pet shares your home. I guess I'd have to move my raw meat collection from the kitchen floor, and we'll have to spring for the new vacuum cleaner we've been able to avoid buying because pet hair hasn't been an issue. We can – though we've not done it but twice since our dog died – hit the road with nary a care about boarding rates or portable kibble-keepers, or whether a motel allows pets.
But I also know the joys a special dog can bring, and I acknowledge there's a dog-shaped hole in our family. We may not need a dog to be happy, but having had one means we know the possibilities of enhancing our current bliss.
So I've agreed that looking can't hurt, and we've been scouring nearby animal shelters for worthy candidates to "interview." Most of the ones we are considering are strays, and most are Border collies or mixes thereof – we had the best possible experience with Gypsy, a full-blood Border collie who was a rescued stray. It will take a special dog to fill Gypsy's role as friend, comforter and psuedo guard dog (although Gypsy never met a stranger, and even fewer she didn't like).
We're hoping to visit this guy today:
Say hi to "Oreo." I'll let you know how it goes.
There's alot of love in those eyes. Good luck!
Oreo, I like that.
Never owned a dog but Little Ferd wants one. I'm a cat person and had 2 black ones named Samantha and Tabitha. One was poisoned and the other we gave away for various reasons.
Care when we are on trips is the biggest concern but now that Mrs Ferds parents live one neighborhood over...hmmm
I'd decide for sure BEFORE you actually look, because once you see them staring into your eyes for a home, you are a goner.
Oreo looks very cute and in need of a good home. I hope things went well!
